Former New Zealand pacer and ex-Mumbai Indians bowling coach, Shane Bond, has issued a warning to Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah about the risk of a career-ending injury if he continues to play too much Test cricket. Bond emphasized the importance of managing Bumrah’s workload carefully to prevent further injuries, especially considering Bumrah’s history of back issues. Bond, who himself had a career plagued by injuries, stressed the need for Bumrah to avoid playing more than two Test matches in a row to reduce the risk of aggravating his existing injury.
Bumrah is currently recovering from a lower back injury that sidelined him during India’s ICC Champions Trophy campaign. Bond expressed concerns about the quick transition from T20 cricket to Test matches, particularly with the upcoming England tour and the Indian Premier League schedule. Bond advised against overburdening Bumrah with excessive bowling, citing the need to prioritize his long-term health and longevity in the game.
Bond highlighted the importance of open communication between Bumrah and the Indian cricket decision-makers to plan a safe and sustainable path for his career. With the IPL being Bumrah’s only opportunity for competitive cricket before the England tour, Bond emphasized the need for caution and careful management to avoid any potential setbacks. Ultimately, Bond emphasized the need for a strategic and thoughtful approach to Bumrah’s workload to ensure his continued success in the sport. The content should be rewritten as follows:
