Chetan Sharma supports India’s smart move in England
Meanwhile, Chetan Sharma has supported India’s decision to relax Bumrah from the ongoing fifth and final test against England at the Oval to manage his charge. He believes that keeping Bumrah, which was also rested in the second test, fit is more important than pushing him very hard.
He insisted that the Indian cricket team management and medical staff have made the right call by not playing all the five tests on the tour of England. He said that Bumrah is rare and precious, and India should play a smart game to protect pace for a long time.
Sharma signed, saying, “If our medical team says that he should not test more than three, we should trust them. Fast bowlers like Bumrah are property. It is better that he stays fit compared to eliminating it and using risk injury. We need Bumrah for long race.”
