India Star Jasprit Bumrah Likely to Miss 2nd Test for Workload Management
Former English cricketer Mark Butcher emphasizes team needs over Bumrah's wish to play in the second Test against England. Bumrah's workload management is a key factor in deciding which matches he will play in the series. Skipper Shubman Gill confirms Bumrah's availability for selection.
Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss the second Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham as part of workload management. Despite his impressive performance in the first innings, the decision has been made to rest him for this match. Former English cricketer Mark Butcher emphasized that the team's needs should take precedence over Bumrah's personal wishes when it comes to team selection.
Butcher highlighted the importance of prioritizing the series over individual preferences. The team management will decide on which three Tests Bumrah will play in the ongoing series. Skipper Shubman Gill confirmed that Bumrah is available for selection, but the final decision will depend on pitch conditions.
If Bumrah sits out the second Test, Mohammed Siraj is expected to lead the pace attack, supported by Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna. Butcher suggested that the focus should be on making a comeback in the series before considering resting Bumrah towards the end of the series.
