Bumrah unlikely to be rested as India balance Asia Cup with Windies test prep

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to be rested for the remainder of the Asia Cup despite a two-match home test series against the West Indies starting early next month. Bumrah's workload has been managed this year due to back problems and the 31-year-old featured in only three of the five tests during India's tied 2-2 series in England. India, the defending champions at the Twenty20 tournament, will face Sri Lanka on Friday and are likely t...

India not altering plans to rest Bumrah despite loss to England in 1st Test

India will continue to prioritise Jasprit Bumrah's fitness and stick to their plan of playing the pace spearhead in only three out of the five tests against England despite losing the opener by five wickets on Tuesday, head coach Gautam Gambhir said. Bumrah, who declined the test captaincy in order to manage his workload after four months out with a back issue, was India's top bowler with 5-83 in the first innings of the Headingley thriller but went wicketless in the second. The 31-year-old's ...

Bumrah told BCCI he did not want test captaincy due to workload concerns

Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah said he told India's cricket board (BCCI) that he did not want to be considered for the test captaincy as his workload has to be carefully managed due to his back problems. The BCCI picked top-order batter Shubman Gill as captain following Rohit Sharma's decision to quit the test format last month, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar saying they could not risk burdening Bumrah with a leadership role. Gill will lead the side in a five-test series against England starting...
