India Should Have Avoided Announcing Bumrah Would Play Three Tests In England, Says Dasgupta
Jasprit Bumrah: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta believes the side should have avoided making the announcement of Jasprit Bumrah’s availability to be limited to three Tests in the recent 2-2 drawn Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series in England.
Before the Indian team left for England, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir had said Bumrah wouldn’t feature in more than three Tests on tour due to workload management, especially after picking up a back injury in the Sydney Test against Australia in January this year.
Bumrah featured in the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, followed by the third and fourth games at Lord’s and Old Trafford, Manchester, respectively. In three games, Bumrah picked 14 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls, coming off bowling 119.4 overs at an average of 26. Bumrah wasn’t included in the playing eleven for the fifth Test at The Oval and was subsequently released from the squad ahead of day two’s play.
