Sanjay Manjrekar Rubbishes BCCI’s Logic For Not Making Jasprit Bumrah Captain: “Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma…”

Shubman Gill is appointed test captain in India meant that the Jasprit Bumrah stimulator missed. BUMRAH – The classified test launcher n ° 1 in the world in accordance with the ICC classification – has not been taken into account because of its nature subject to injuries and concerns concerning the physical form and the workload. The chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed that Bumrah should not play more than three tests in the next five -game series against England in June. However, despite these reasons, the former India cricket player and his renowned expert Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his disappointment with Bumrah who is not planned for the captain.

“What I found strange in the selection is the captain’s choice. I did not understand why Bumrah was not even considered,” said Manjrekar, speaking of Espncriricinfo.

Manjrekar said that Bumrah is not available for all the tests mentioned as not to do so captain did not apply to previous captains like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma.

“The reason was its probability of not playing the whole series. We had Rohit Sharma, who recently captain of India and only played three of the five test games. We had Virat Kohli in the past undressing and not playing the full series. But still the captain,” said Manjrekar.

While announcing a team of 18 members for the tour in England here on Saturday, the president of India of selectors Ajit Agarkar said that Bumrah did not have the authorization of medical staff and physios to appear in the five tests of the series from Leeds on June 20.

“I do not think it is available for the five tests according to what the physios and the doctors told us,” said Agarkar when asked if Bumrah was available for the whole series.

The excessive dependence of India on Bumrah during their last tour in Australia, where he took 32 counters in just under five tests, forced AS Pacer to extinguish the fifth and last match in Sydney and spending another three months recovering from a problem linked to the back.

Bumrah had won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the Men’s Men’s ICC of the year as well as the test cricket player of the year in 2024 for his exemplary performance through formats.

With 11 counters, Bumrah played a vital role in the winning race in India in the T20 World Cup in the Americas in 2024, and he finished with a rich transport of 71 counters in just 13 tests last year.

But towards the end of a successful race, Bumrah was forced to push his limits as a bowling player while being a replacement captain in Australia. Given the incredible workload, he finally collapsed and even admitted it during the Melbourne test.
