Should Lord's Test take priority over the series? Kumar Sangakkara questions India's decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah
Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara has raised concerns over India's choice to rest Jasprit Bumrah for the second Test against England. With India trailing in the series, Sangakkara questions if the importance of the Lord's Test outweighs the need to secure a series win.
India's decision to rest pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for the second Test against England at Edgbaston has sparked controversy. The team management stuck to their plan of having Bumrah play only three Tests out of five, drawing reactions from former players. The decision to rest Bumrah has come under scrutiny given the importance of the match and India's recent Test record. Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara questioned the decision-making process behind Bumrah's exclusion, suggesting that the situation demanded a different approach.
One perspective suggests that Bumrah was rested to ensure his fitness for the upcoming Lord's Test. Critics argue that his presence could have been crucial in preventing a potential 0-2 deficit. Sangakkara also pointed out that the multiple changes in the playing XI might be a reflection of the pressure on the team management due to recent results.
