The Indian team management has decided to rest Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav from the upcoming third T20 against the West Indies in Chennai.

"The decision has been made to allow the trio to be in the best physical condition ahead of India's tour to Australia," a press release from the BCCI said.
