Ravichandran Ashwin advises critics of third Test pitch "to get over it"

India have allowed Jasprit Bumrah to miss the fourth Test against England in Ahmedabad for personal reasons.

The 27-year-old requested permission to be released from the group, which has been granted by the BCCI.

No replacement will be called up for the concluding match of the series.

Bumrah played a bit-part in the 10-wicket third Test win, bowling just six overs and finishing with figures of 0-19.

He has also been rested for the upcoming five-match T20 series between India and England which starts on March 12.
