India speedster Jasprit Bumrah, who played his first Test series at home lately, is currently on a break from cricket. The fast bowler features in all three formats for India.

Bumrah took a leave for his wedding after the third Test between India and England. He is not part of the ongoing T20I series and may well be giving the three-match ODI series at Pune a miss.

The pacer is expected to directly join the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp at the end of this month. Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is starting on April 9 and the defending champions will be playing the opening match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chennai.

Bumrah will enter a week-long quarantine before flying to the venue for the first IPL match with the MI squad. He is currently out of the bio-bubble and hence will need to go quarantine again, unlike his India teammates.

There is a busy schedule waiting for Team India after the IPL. They will go on a tour to England to play the World Test Championship final followed by a five-match Test series. There's also a T20 World Cup to be played this year which is in India.

The 27-year-old has got the much-needed rest before non-stop action from next month. It's a challenge for the team management to manage the workload of their star fast bowler. 

Bumrah had suffered an abdominal strain on the Australia tour and he was rested for the last Test match at the Gabba.
