Jasprit Bumrah slammed by ex-Indian player
Former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar has emphatically stated that players should participate in every match, without cherry‑picking based on personal preference. The former Indian star's comments come amid uncertainty over Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in the fourth Test against England, scheduled to begin on July 23 in Manchester. Bumrah has clearly been rested earlier in the series, playing the first and third games and missing the second game. But his availability for the fourth Test has not yet been confirmed
“What is important is playing for India, and if you are unfit, then don’t play at all. He had a gap of almost seven-eight days after the first Test match but still was not included for the second Test, which was not acceptable. Maybe it was acceptable for Agarkar and Gambhir,” Vengsarkar told Revsportz.
“I’m not in favour of bowlers picking and choosing Test matches. If you’re fit and available, you should play all the matches for your country. Bumrah is a world-class bowler, and he can win matches for India. But once you’re on tour, you need to play every match. There’s no question of selecting matches based on personal preference,” he added.
As of now, India are 1-2 down in the five-match series, having lost the first and third games. The fourth Test is very vital for India in order to bounce back and level the series 1-1.
