India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to be rested for the remainder of the Asia Cup despite a two-match home test series against the West Indies starting early next month.

Bumrah's workload has been managed this year due to back problems and the 31-year-old featured in only three of the five tests during India's tied 2-2 series in England.

India, the defending champions at the Twenty20 tournament, will face Sri Lanka on Friday and are likely to be in Sunday's final before they shift focus to two tests against the West Indies, beginning on October 2.

"I'd say it's unlikely that he'll get a rest," Ten Doeschate said ahead of Wednesday's Super Four match against Bangladesh in Dubai.
