Rohit Sharma Wants To Give Jasprit Bumrah As Much Game Time As Possible Before World Cup

27.07.2023 - 17:53 sports.ndtv.com

India skipper Rohit Sharma is hoping that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah who has been out of action since September last year, can get enough playing time before the ODI World Cup in October this year.

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 owing to his injury and missed the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

He also missed the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, a tournament in which he represents Mumbai Indians (MI). Last week the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) provided medical updates on star pacer and released a statement "Mr Jasprit Bumrah and Mr Prasidh Krishna: The two fast bowlers are in the final stages of their rehab and are bowling with full intensity in the nets.

The duo will now play some practice games, which the NCA will organise. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them following the practice games," a statement from BCCI read said.

Kaneria feels if Rahul and Iyer are not fit, India should not include them in the squads for the major tournaments.

Suryakumar Yadav's No. 4 ODI Experiment Nearing End? Rohit Sharma Gives Big Hint

After two back-to-back losses, Team India finally took a sigh of relief after they registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory over West Indies in the third T20I of Tuesday. Trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, the Hardik Pandya-led side chased down the target of 160 in just 17.5 overs. The major contribution came from batter Suryakumar Yadav, who turned on his beast mode and smashed 83 runs off just 44 balls. It was a great moment for the Indian camp to see a brilliant innings from Surya as the batter had been struggling to get runs for quite some time now. In the recently concluded ODI series, Surya failed to leave a mark, which has put questions about his place in the squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup.
