Jasprit Bumrah will miss many major tournaments

Published

on

Bumrah, who was included in the squad named for the one-day tournament against Sri Lanka, was removed from the tournament yesterday (9) by the official announcement issued by the country’s cricket governing body. Sources also say that there is a high chance that he will miss the Test series to be held against Australia.

Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the Test series against Australia as he will need to rest for at least another month due to a muscle strain in his right leg. Bumrah suffered the injury while recovering from the injury ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup and returning to the Indian ODI squad.

After the selection committee belatedly included Bumrah in the squad for the three ODIs against Sri Lanka, the Indian team management was optimistic about playing against Australia, but it was revealed that Bumrah had not travelled to Guwahati for the series with the rest of the squad.

With the ODI World Cup in India in October-November, it is clear that the management is also taking a very cautious approach to Bumrah’s fitness. Bumrah’s persistent injuries have caused him to miss many major tournaments, including the World Twenty20 and the Asia Cup.

இலங்கைக்கு எதிரான ஒரு நாள் போட்டிக்கான அணியில் இடம் பெற்றிருந்த பும்ரா, நேற்று (9) போட்டியிலிருந்து நீக்கப்பட்டதாக அந்நாட்டு கிரிக்கெட் நிர்வாகம் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக அறிவித்தது. அவுஸ்திரேலியாவுக்கு எதிராக நடைபெறவுள்ள டெஸ்ட் தொடரை அவர் இழக்க அதிக வாய்ப்புகள் இருப்பதாகவும் வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

ஜஸ்பிரித் பும்ரா தனது வலது காலில் தசைப்பிடிப்பு காரணமாக குறைந்தது இன்னும் ஒரு மாதமாவது ஓய்வெடுக்க வேண்டியிருக்கும் என்பதால், ஆஸ்திரேலியாவுக்கு எதிரான டெஸ்ட் தொடரை அவர் இழக்க வாய்ப்புள்ளது. 2022 டி20 உலகக் கோப்பைக்கு முன்னதாக காயத்தில் இருந்து மீண்டு இந்திய ஒருநாள் அணிக்கு திரும்பும் போது பும்ராவுக்கு காயம் ஏற்பட்டது.

தேர்வுக் குழு இலங்கைக்கு எதிரான மூன்று ஒருநாள் போட்டிகளுக்கான அணியில் பும்ராவைத் தாமதமாகச் சேர்த்த பிறகு, இந்திய அணி நிர்வாகம் ஆஸ்திரேலியாவுக்கு எதிராக விளையாடுவதில் நம்பிக்கையுடன் இருந்தது, ஆனால் பும்ரா மற்ற அணியுடன் தொடருக்காக கவுகாத்திக்கு செல்லவில்லை என்பது தெரியவந்தது.
