India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah says he has been advised to miss the limited-overs tour of West Indies as part of his workload management and not fitness issues.
Bumrah and senior batsman Rohit Sharma have been rested for the five-match ODI and single match T20 series in the Caribbean starting on June 23.
"I am totally fine, they (selectors and team management) have told me to take rest. I am fully fit and there are no niggles," said Bumrah making it clear that his absence is not due to fitness issues.
Asked if he is disappointed to miss out given that he has been in good form, the Gujarat pacer replied: "I am not disappointed. I have been doing things that I have been told to do."

He bowled as many as 41 dot balls and he believes that also helped other bowlers to get wickets.
"Dot balls help build pressure so even if you are not getting wickets, somebody from the other end is getting wickets and the job is done."

"It is not an easy delivery to bowl. You have to work hard. I always try and emphasize on having specific net sessions on 'death bowling'. It is similar to length balls -- the more you practice, the better you get at it," he explained.
Bumrah is not at all surprised that Pakistan have made it to the final and said there is no room for complacency against the arch-rivals.
"I am not at all surprised to see them (Pakistan) in the final. You never know anything can happen on any day. On their day, they can beat any side in the world.
"You can't be complacent that now we are in finals. There are no easy games and you have to give them respect," he said.
