India manages Bumrah's workload in England Test series

Team India will prioritize managing fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's workload as they begin their new World Test Championship cycle against England. This is due to his recent return from injury and the retirement of key senior players. Bumrah, who recently played all five Tests against Australia, will only play three of the five matches against England. This decision, confirmed by head coach Gautam Gambhir, is based on medical advice and aims to prevent further injury. Former NCA head physiotherapist Ashish Kaushik emphasized the importance of a balanced workload, warning that both over and under-bowling can increase injury risk. He stressed the need for adequate recovery and proper training.
