India are all set to take on England in a five-match Test Series beginning from June 20, which will mark the start of their campaign in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle. Before the start of the series, Rohit Sharma and Virat Both announced their retirements from the longest format of the game. Jasprit Bumrah is a crucial member of the India squad for the England tour. However, it is confirmed that he will not play all five matches due to fitness issues. He too, has now dropped a massive retirement hint.
In an interaction with former Australian Captain Michael Clarke on his Beyond 23 Podcast, Jasprit Bumrah said that players have to be selective and smart on how to use their bodies, and it is tough for an individual to go at the same intensity for a long period of time. He informed that his fitness is alright at present. However, the day he realizes that the drive to play more is gone or his body is not holding up to the rigors of the game, then he will call it quits on his illustrious career.
"It is tough for any individual to keep playing everything for so long. I have been doing it for a while. But eventually, you have to understand where your body is going and what the important tournaments are, so you have to be a little selective and smart about how you use your body. Obviously, as a cricketer, I would never want to leave anything and always keep on going," added Bumrah.

"At this moment, I am ok. But I don't set goals such as this is the number I should be at. I look at it one day at a time. The journey is going good so far, but the day I realise that the drive is gone or the effort is not there or my body is not holding up, that is the time when you make the decision."
