There is suspense on the play of Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the second match of the five -Test series being played between India and England. Meanwhile, Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc and women’s cricket team captain Alyssa Heli has given a serious warning to the Indian team management about the workload of Bumrah. Bumrah was the highest overs bowler in Test cricket since last year. Apart from this, he has also been injured many times. Due to which Alyssa Heli has given a big statement.
Alyssa Heli worries Bumrah’s persecution
Alyssa Heli has warned the Indian team management that if Bumrah can prove to be dangerous for India. If Bumrah’s injury emerges again, India may ‘lose him forever’. That is, it can be very difficult for Team India to play back. Let me tell you, since last year, Jasprit Bumrah has thrown 410.4 overs in Test cricket, which is the highest from any fast bowler. Australia’s Mitchell Starc (362.3 overs) and Pat Cummins (359.1 overs) are behind them in this list. At the same time, he bowled a lot in the first Test against England.
Talking on ListNR Sport Podcast, Elisa Heli said, ‘So she is managing her workload. But did you see that figure? He has thrown the most overs compared to any fast bowling in the Test since 2024. His surgery has already been done. They still have problems. As a human, it is worrisome. They still have to live life, they have a small family. If they have surgery due to injury again, you will lose it forever.
5 wickets in the first Test
The second Test match between India and England is going to start from July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. In the first Test, Bumrah performed brilliantly in the first Test and scored 5/83 figures in the first innings. But due to the workload, Bumrah is going to play only three Tests in this series, but it is not yet clear which three matches he will play. Whether or not he will be part of the Edgbaston Test, the decision will also be taken on the last occasion.
