Jasprit Bumrah will play three Tests
In a conversation with Dinesh Karthik on Sky Sports, Jasprit Bumrah confirmed that he would play only three matches out of five in the series. It is sure to play the first test. He told that for this reason he has not captained the Test team. Bumrah said, “I am watching 3 Test matches. The first Test is certain. The rest we will see what is the plan. We will see what the situation is. What is the workload.
He further said, “I can handle 3 Test matches at this time. I do not want to be in any kind of desperate position. As captain I cannot say that I will only play 3 matches. This does not give a good message to the team. So keeping all these things in mind, I am trying to do my best as a player.”
