Rohit, Kohli, Bumrah Are 'well Rested', Could Have Been Selected For Duleep Trophy: Manjrekar
The Duleep Trophy: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar suggested that Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah should have been selected for first round of Duleep Trophy, citing the trio being “well rested” players.
The Duleep Trophy will see a lot of Test team regulars featuring in the first round of India’s domestic season opener at Bengaluru and Anantapur on September 5. The tournament’s format has been changed too - the zonal format has made way for four teams – India A, India B, India C and India D – chosen by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee.
But Rohit, India’s Test and ODI skipper, along with Kohli, Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin will not be a part of Duleep Trophy first round. “India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of those. Virat 61 % & Bumrah 34%. I see them as well rested India players. Could have been selected for the Duleep trophy,” said Manjrekar on ‘X’.
