Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari is constantly in the headlines. He has accused MS Dhoni of not supporting, has used the word ‘hypocrisy’ for the current head coach of Team India Gautam Gambhir. Now he has not spared Jaspreet Bumrah either. Bumrah played only 3 Tests out of five on England Tour. Manoj Tiwari says that the player who is chosen in the squad should ensure that he plays all the matches.

Jasprit Bumrah not older than the game

According to Cric Tracker, Manoj Tiwari said, “From my perspective, when you already know that a player is not fit to play all the five matches of the series, then it is clear that you will not choose it. You will not choose that player because no one can be bigger than the game of cricket. Whether he is Jaspreet Bumrah, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or any other cricket is not bigger than any cricket game.”

It should also be noted that Bumrah had played all 5 Tests on the Australian tour, but in the last match played in Sydney, he had injuries in the waist. Due to this injury, he could not play in the Champions Trophy 2025. Perhaps this was the reason that the team management was forced to take a decision that Bumrah should play only 3 Tests in England.

Bumrah should not be selected …

Manoj Tiwari did not stop here. He further said that the team management or the selector should know that if a special player will not be able to play all the matches, then he should not be selected. He said, “One reason can also be understood that if there was no backup in fast bowling, then the selection of Bumrah was necessary, but when you have such bowlers sitting on the bench, who are constantly doing well. In such a situation Bumrah should not have been selected.”

Who will be outside, who will get entry? Many such questions will be flocking in the minds of Indian fans about the Asia Cup 2025. The Indian squad will be announced on Tuesday, but the curiosity for the squad is at its peak. There is doubt on whether Jaspreet Bumrah will play or not. Meanwhile, it was also updated that Bumrah can now be seen playing directly in the Test series against the West Indies. Indian veteran Sunil Gavaskar has not liked this at all.

Strict message to selectors

Sunil Gavaskar has given a strong message to the selectors through a column written for a newspaper. He wrote, “There is no player without whom the work cannot work. So the selectors will have to decide whether to feed Jaspreet Bumrah or not. In the recently ended England series, there has already been a lot of debate on Bumrah” Gavaskar also said that India’s next Test is in October and even if he used to play in Bumrah Oval Test, he would have 2 months time for comfort. Nevertheless, the team management gave him rest. In fact, Gavaskar was seen irritated by the fact that even after 2 months for rest, Bumrah was not fed in the Oval Test.

Give important advice

Giving another important advice to the selectors, Sunil Gavaskar wrote that Test cricket should be made a primary format for Bumrah. He wrote, “Now the selectors have to decide whether it is more important. Qualification is more important for the World Test Championship Final or playing in a bilateral white ball series, which will not have any special impact. If India has to do well in WTC, then Jaspreet Bumrah should always be the lead bowlers and they should always play four Test matches during October-November.”

Also praised for some decisions

This great batsman of India praised the selectors and said that in the last few series, many impeccable decisions have been taken regarding squad selection, whose good results have also come out. Sunil Gavaskar also said that when it comes to choosing the final-11, the decision should be completely in the hands of the team management.

What did Akash Chopra say about Jaspreet Bumrah?

Bumrah Saab said that I will play only 3 Tests. But I am wondering what was so needed to tell why it was told to the world. Could it not be kept secret? Do not tell, we do not even announce our team. If we do not tell the playing 11 before the toss, then why is it important to tell this again and again that we will feed them only 3 Tests (Jaspreet Bumrah). Let them think this, play whatever you want. Now out of the remaining 4 you will play only 2 matches, this is not a good thing. If you also play the second Test, then you will play only 1 out of 3 matches. I do not know why India wants to tell the world, what can be the reason behind this? “
