The second Test match between India and England is being played in Edgbaston. Where Team India fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah has been rested. Actually, a word became very popular even before the series started- workload management. Under this, India has rested its biggest bowler Jaspreet Bumrah in Edgbaston Test. They will be fed in Lord’s Test. Many veterans do not like this decision. Telling it beyond comprehension. At the same time, former Sri Lankan player Kumar Sangakkara has questioned India’s decision.
The East captain of Sri Lanka says that different types of approach are required in different circumstances. He told Sky Sports that it is interesting to understand how this decision was taken and who took it? Was this decision taken after talking to players or physio. Are Lords more important than the Test series? The series is at stake. If we look at the score, the match is a little more tilted towards England because 5 wickets have fallen.
Sangakkara further said that, I hope from the coach that he would have gone to Bumrah and says, yes we thought that you would play the third and fifth Tests but, we want to see you in the first and second. Just see if you can play the third match because then you will get 2 weeks of time before the next match.
India has lost the first match played against England in Leeds. He has never won any Test in Edgbaston till date. If the second test also comes out of the hand, then it will be difficult for India to save the series. Even before the team arrived on England tour, the management had decided that Jasprit Bumrah would not play all 5 Tests. He will play only 3 Tests.
