Before this match between India and England, India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has given a big update to Jaspreet Bumrah. Sitanshu Kotak has made it clear that Bumrah is fit at the moment and his workload is balanced. According to the coach, Bumrah bowled an innings in the last match and now the captain, coach and physio will decide on their availability. However, there has been no final discussion on this yet.
Team India coach Gautam Gambhir also did not rule out the possibility of Bumrah’s involvement in this important match. Kotak repeated this on Tuesday. Kotak said two days before the game, ‘Bumrah is now fit according to his workload. He bowled in an innings in the last match. Therefore, obviously head coaches, our physio and captain will discuss and decide. There is no discussion yet. At the same time, Gambhir also confirmed in Old Trafford that all his fast bowlers are fit, which means Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep have recovered from injuries.
What said on Mohammad Siraj’s workload?
On the question asked about Mohammad Siraj, Kotak said that even though Siraj may have played in the entire series, his workload is balanced. He said that the workload of the players is monitored by the GPS system, in which the number and fatigue of the over is analyzed every week. Siraj’s workload has been fine so far and no ‘spike’ has come. The coach also made it clear that the workload is not only related to the overs in the match, but the total activities of the whole week and the total activities of the game. If Siraj feels tired, then only he will be rested. Otherwise he is fully ready to play.
