Due to the ODI World Cup in India in October and November, management is also being cautious about Bumrah’s fitness.
On the eve of the first One-Day International, Rohit Sharma stated, “It’s an unfortunate incident with him [Bumrah].”
Throughout this time, the poor man had put in a lot of effort at the NCA.
He started bowling and doing everything just as he got back to full fitness.
In the last two days, I believe, he felt a little stiffness in his back. It’s just stiffness; it’s nothing major.
However, whenever Bumrah says anything, we must exercise extreme caution.
At the time, I thought it was crucial that we decide to simply remove him.
He was finishing up his work at the time we put him on the squad.
We must exercise extreme caution around him. Before the [T20] World Cup, he suffered a serious injury. We just need to be careful.”
Bumrah was recuperating at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru after being out of action since September of last year due to a stress reaction in his back.
