INJURY OR REST? Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah Were Missing From Perth Nets Ahead of BGT, Here's WHY

Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah were missing from India's first practice session at Perth and that has raised concerns ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

We are less than 10 days away from the first Test, so why did the two Indian stalwarts miss the session? According to a report in The West Australian, this happened because they opted to rest after India cancelled the compulsory training session.

The net session on Tuesday was an optional one.

Team India is supposed to have a full-fledged training session on Wednesday and Thursday at the iconic WACA.

Team India is maintaining high secrecy over their training sessions.

The practice ground was covered in black traps, and cricket staff at the venue were not allowed to use their mobile phones outside the offices or filming inside the ground.
