India’s Assistant Coach Ten Doeschate Says It’s Not Fair to Comment that Bumrah Was Picking, Choosing Games

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 31 – India limited Jasprit Bumrah to three Tests in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to manage his workload and protect his fitness, with Bumrah taking 14 wickets in the series so far.

  • India's assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate said Jasprit Bumrah committed to playing only three Tests in the five-match series against England.
  • The management honored Bumrah's decision due to his injury history and workload, choosing not to include him for the remaining matches despite fan disappointment.
  • Bumrah played the first, third, and fourth Tests, bowling 119.2 overs with 14 wickets and two five-wicket hauls while resting in the second and fifth Tests of the series.
  • Doeschate explained that considering Bumrah’s physical condition and workload, the team decided not to include him in the squad, and he emphasized that it is unfair to suggest Bumrah was selectively choosing which matches to play.
  • This approach allowed India to manage Bumrah's fitness smartly while including fresh bowlers Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna, aiming to sustain performance during the series-deciding final Test at the Oval.
