Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from the final Test of the England-India series was a result of a knee injury, overshadowing the initial narrative of workload management. A BCCI source indicated that the injury is not severe and won’t require an operation. Bumrah showcased his bowling prowess throughout the series, taking 14 wickets, with two five-wicket hauls. His physical condition has raised questions regarding his capacity to participate in all matches of extended Test series. The lighter red-ball schedule offers respite, while the focus shifts to white-ball tournaments like the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. There’s a need for a clear strategy to manage Bumrah’s career in Test cricket.
