Jasprit Bumrah will miss India's five-match T20 series against England but fellow fast bowler Mohammed Shami returns from injury.

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami on Saturday returned to India's squad for the upcoming T20 international series against England after more than a year's break due to injury. Pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah is missing with doubts over his participation in the following three ODI matches with the touring England team due to an injury he suffered in the final Australia Test.
