3rd Test: Isa Guha Apologises For Making 'primate' Comment Over Bumrah
Gavaskar Trophy Test: Former England women’s cricketer Isa Guha has apologised for any offence caused by her calling India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah a ‘primate’ while commentating on the ongoing third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia.
During the first session of day two’s play at the Gabba, Bumrah was in the middle of his blistering spell when Isa said on Fox Sports, “Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah. He is the one that’s going to do all the talking for India, and why so much focus was on him in the buildup to this Test match, and whether he would be fit.”
The use of the word ‘primate’ caused a big stir considering the searing tension between the two cricket teams during the 2008 Monkeygate scandal. Ahead of day three’s play at the Gabba, Isa made an apology in the build-up to day three’s play.
