Mohammad Siraj became the hero of Team India by taking 23 wickets in the India England Test Series (India England Test Series). Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the main fast bowler of India for many years, is the world’s number-1 bowler in Tests, he took 14 wickets in just 3 matches. But in front of Siraj’s amazing performance, Bumrah’s performance faded somewhere. Actually, due to workload management and fitness problems, only 3 matches could be played in Bumrah series. Now BCCI is considering a rule, due to which Bumrah may have to put a complete stop on his Test career.

According to the news agency PTI, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can consider a rule from which the players will not be able to choose the match according to which they want to play. It is being told that the head coach Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar’s leadership selection committee and other big officers of the management are unanimous on this new rule. It was also said to warn the players that the benefit of the workload will not be tolerated at all.

Will Jaspreet Bumrah take retirement?

If this rule applies, then Jasprit Bumrah can come under its target. Bumrah was able to play only 3 matches in the series against England due to this workload management. Bumrah played 3 matches while being the lead bowler of the team. After Lords, when Bumrah came to play the second consecutive Test in Manchester, his bowling speed declined. Bumrah usually bowls at a speed of 140–145 km per hour on average, but his fitness replied in Manchester Tests, due to which his average speed came down to 130–135 km per hour.

If Bumrah is not available due to Bumrah workload on important occasions in the upcoming series, then this new rule can become a big problem for Bumrah. Bumrah is throwing long spells, but the matter of real concern is that he is facing problems in throwing long spells in consecutive matches. If BCCI brings this strict rule, then Bumrah may have to take a final decision on the at least Test career. Bumrah has taken a total of 219 wickets in the career of 48 Test matches so far.
