NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will reunite with the India team for the fifth and final test against England, but middle order batter KL Rahul has not fully recovered from a quadricep tendon injury, the Indian cricket board said on Thursday.

India rested Bumrah for the fourth test in Ranchi, where Rohit Sharma and his men grabbed an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
