IND vs Eng: India’s coach Gautam Gambhir provided an update on the fitness and availability of pacers for the decisive series in the oval. Cricket news

Manchester: It has been more than 50 days since the Indian team came here in England, and Jasprit Bumrah’s charge has been the focal point of India’s plan before each test. As India’s batsman Old Trafford was pulling a battle draw, the availability of Bumrah for the previous testing – started at the Oval in London on Thursday – became a point of discussion again. At the beginning of the tour, head coach Gautam Gambhir had confirmed that the team management had planned to play Bumrah in only three of the five tests. The India goes to London below 1-2 in the series, and Bumrah has already played a quota of three tests. This is a difficult situation for both Bumrah and team management. Will the team be distracted by the three-testing scheme about the availability of Bumrah, because now there is a big opportunity to come out of the horrific series with 2-2 scorline? “There is no talk about it (Bumrah is playing at the Oval). And no such decision has been taken whether Bumrah (Will) plays in the final examination. Finally, whoever plays will try and work for the country, ”Gambhir said after the fourth test. The sensitivity to break in the middle of a test by Bumrah has made those who take care of Indian cricket nights. The Cricket Board of India (BCCI) does not want to repeat the incident in Sydney test at the beginning of the year. In Australia, the medical team working on Bumrah believed that his long and intense magic in Testing in Melbourne triggered a back injury to Sydney. Toi understands that Bumrah is now advised to bowl 45-50 overs per test. In the last Test in Manchester, Bumrah bowled just 33 overs. It was after eight-day break after the third Test at Lord’s. TOI has learned that BCCI corridors have grown around Bumrah’s pick-end policy in Test cricket. He was not only given the captaincy of the test as he would not be available for every test. BCCI is not comfortable with selectors and team management, going into any chain whether Bumrah will be available for the entire series. It is believed whether they should make themselves available for the entire series, or not. Sources said that when the fourth test began with Bumrah in Xi, it was almost certain that it would give an oval test a miss. “All fast bowlers are there. There is no injury” Kurt’s Kurt for a query around the fitness of a serious attack was Kurt. Gambhir said that he does not like the word ‘transition’, discussing the test team playing in England. He believes that this team can be inexperienced, but India has the best team. He does not like to hide behind the words ‘transition’ and ‘inexperience’. “You are asking someone who believes in the results only. And I have always said that even in the past, I believe in results. Yes, there is inexperience, but it is still the best Indian team. We are still below 1-2. Hopefully, we can try and make it 2-2. This is going to be a big achievement, ”said Gambhir.

It will be interesting to see if India risks Bumrah. His speed, finally, came down significantly on the third evening of the third Test, where he returned his poorest show 2/112 figures in his seven -year test career. India’s only win has occurred when Bumrah opted to sit out of the second Test in Edgbaston. It is not that Indian bowling cannot make his grip without him.
