He confirmed that the call will be answered after knowing the nature of his injury. He said:
“What he should do and what suggestions he should take is all between the BCCI doctors and his doctor who operated on him in New Zealand. Some days you will know the exact nature and condition of the injury… Everything depends on him personally…
He added: “He is in contact with the doctors and will be further evaluated to know the extent of the injury and the exact level of the injury. If he needs rest, it will be given. There is no doubt about that but before that, we need to know his exact injury and then only the doctors.” We will decide that the next step will be taken accordingly, as of now we can only hope and wish that he recovers soon.”
Rishabh Pant’s name is also being considered for the Test captaincy as Jasprit Bumrah struggles with his fitness.
Amid his fitness matters, there were reports in RevSportz that there would be discussions about Jasprit Bumrah not being given the Test captaincy due to his workload. It will be considered that if the captaincy is given to a fast bowler, will he be able to play all the games.
Reports added that Rishabh Pant’s name is also under consideration for the captaincy test as he has been performing well in the format. Immediately, there will be no communication regarding this matter and discussions will revolve around the England series.
As far as Bumrah is concerned, it is learned that the fast bowler will be rested for the three-match ODI series against England. This is because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wants the fast bowler to be fit for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
