Jasprit Bumrah may rest for the white-ball match against England

Jasprit Bumrah likely to take rest from the white-ball match against England


India's top bowler Jasprit Bumrah is likely to take a break from eight white-ball games against England as part of a team-wide program to manage team load. Games are scheduled for March. Bumrah rested for the second Test in Chepauk, where India won by 317 runs to equalize a four-match series 1-1. 

However, Bumrah will return for the next two Test matches in Ahmedabad, which will decide against New Zealand in the first round of the World Test Championship final. It is almost certain that the Indian thinking tank (head coach Ravi Shastri, captain Virat Kohli and bowling coach Bharath Arun) and the trainers and physios will call for the last time to rest at the speed of the spear, keeping a difficult period in mind. "Jassi has thrown almost 180 overs, including nearly 150 overs (149.4 overs) in four Test matches (up to the first Test compared to England) since the start of the Australia-tour.

A BCCI official, who is familiar with the situation, told on condition of anonymity."In addition, the number of hours spent on the field. It makes sense that after these two trials at Motera, where he will play a major role, he should be given a leg rest on the white ball,". The idea behind Bumrah's rest with a white-ball leg is simple. Five T20 Internationals and three ODIs to play against England will be the last chance for the Indian club management to look at all the potential players who will play in this year's World Cup. "Bhuvneshwar Kumar is likely to return and Mohammed Shami after the break will play a few white-ball games. Nattu (T Natarajan) and Saini will be back in the white-ball teams. As far as Jassi is concerned, he could prepare to play 14 to 16-strong IPL matches against Mumbai Indians,". said the source.
