A once-in-a-generation fast bowler like Jasprit Bumrah shouldn't be playing all three formats, in order to avoid injuries and prolong his career, feels World Cup winning Sri Lankan legend Chaminda Vaas. Vaas stressed that Indian selectors and team management must carefully choose the right formats and adapt strategies to keep a tab on Bumrah's workload management.
