3. Why no Jasprit Bumrah for the white-ball series?

Jasprit Bumrah is absent from both ODI and T20I squads but is part of the Asian Games squad, which runs from September 24 to October 3 in Japan. The ace speedster's absence is notable considering he is back from his knee injury and has been bowling at his previous level once more.

The Asian Games overlap explains the ODI unavailability, but no official BCCI statement was issued explaining the decision to rest Bumrah from the T20I leg of the West Indies series as well. Bumrah's absence could perhaps point to the need to keep him fit for the upcoming series in New Zealand, where India will play two Test matches.
