'I would expect him to play all the Test matches': Ex-India coach explains how Bumrah should be handled
Former India bowling coach recently shared thoughts on how the team should manage its key fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah during the upcoming Test series in England. Gautam Gambhir earlier said that Bumrah will play only three matches in the series. read more The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced the Indian squad for the five-match Test series against England , which will start on 20 June. Shubman Gill has been made the captain, while Rishabh Pant will be his deputy. Jasprit Bumrah, who was the vice-captain when Rohit Sharma was skipper, was not given the captaincy even though many reports had said he could be. Later, Indian selector Ajit Agarkar said that Bumrah was not made captain because there is a chance he might not play in all five matches in England and that they were looking at someone for the long term. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also said the same thing , explaining that Bumrah won't play every match keeping in mind his workload management. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Ex-India bowling coach explains how Bumrah should be managed Now, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun has shared his thoughts on how Team India should manage Jasprit Bumrah in the upcoming five-match Test series against England. Speaking to Revsportz, Arun said Bumrah can play all five Tests if other bowlers step up and share the workload. 'Handling him will be very crucial. And as you rightly mentioned, Bumrah's presence in the team adds a huge value. Not only does he does well, he also rallies the other bowlers,' Arun said. More from First Cricket WATCH - India begin training at Lord's under Shubman Gill ahead of England Test series Arun believes that the support from the rest of the pace attack will decide how many matches Bumrah can play in the series. 'So, ideally, I would expect him to play all the Test matches. If there is very good support from the other bowlers, Bumrah can be preserved and play in all the five Test matches. If he is going to be bowling, taking a lot of the workload, then I am afraid he will not be ready for all the five Tests. So, how the other bowlers support him becomes very vital. So, we have got to take it as you go, rather than saying he is good for first three Test matches, then you need to give him a break. The other bowlers can help Bumrah play in all the Test matches if they are bowling really well.' Bumrah and the rest of the Indian players from the Test squad have arrived in London. They began training at the iconic Lord's cricket ground on Sunday, 8 June. The first Test match is scheduled to be played at Headlingley, Leeds.

UFC 316: Merab Dvalishvili does the double over Sean O'Malley, retains bantamweight belt
Merab Dvalishvili retained his bantamweight championship when he tapped out Sean O'Malley in the third round in the main event of UFC 316 on Sunday night at the Prudential Center. Dvalishvili, a 34-year-old from the country of Georgia, won the belt in a convincing — though not aesthetically pleasing — unanimous decision last year over O'Malley. Dvalishvili had his number in the rematch in front of a packed crowd that included President Donald Trump and retired heavyweight great Mike Tyson. Dvalishvili (19-4) sat on top of the cage and bellowed toward the fans in the start of an exuberant celebration of his 13th straight MMA victory. 'I'm on top of the world!,' he said inside the cage. He was the only 135-pound champion on the card who won his bout. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison is now a UFC champion. Harrison tapped out 135-pound champion Julianna Peña with five seconds left in the second round to add another major championship in her fight career. HIGHLIGHTS No U.S. judoka — man or woman — had ever won an Olympic gold medal before Harrison beat Britain's Gemma Gibbons to win the women's 78-kilogram division at the 2012 London Olympics. She won gold again four years later at the Rio de Janeiro Games and made her MMA debut in 2018. The 34-year-old Harrison was a two-time $1 million prize champion in the Professional Fighters League lightweight championship division before she moved on to UFC last year. She won her first two UFC bouts and her record — now a sparkling 19-1 in MMA overall — coupled with her fame made her an instant contender for a title shot. She needed just three fights to become a champion. Harrison dropped to her knees in a teary celebration. She then called out Amanda Nunes, who retired in 2023 but said ahead of the fight she would return to the cage to fight the winner. It appears a title fight with Harrison looms in UFC. Harrison called out Nunes to enter the ring and after some encouragement from announcer Joe Rogan for security to open the cage door, she walked and the two went face-to-face. Nunes said she would indeed fight Harrison at some point for the 135-pound belt. ALSO READ | 'Bones' of contention: The criticism surrounding Jon Jones and the UFC heavyweight title explained The crowd went wild as the two engaged in a brief staredown. They had roared in delight hours earlier when Trump walked out to a thunderous standing ovation just ahead of the start of the UFC pay-per-view card. Trump was accompanied by UFC President Dana White and the pair headed to their cageside seats for UFC 316 to Kid Rock's 'American Bad Ass.' Harrison left the cage after the win and hugged Trump and posed for photos with the President and his entourage. It wasn't the only nod to Trump's latest appearance at a UFC fight. UFC fighter Kevin Holland choked out Vicente Luque to win the first fight with Trump in the building. He scaled the cage and shook hands with Trump. He briefly chatted with Trump and White before he returned for his post-fight interview. Joe Pyfer draped himself in the American flag after he defeated Kelvin Gastelum in a middleweight bout by unanimous decision. 'We've got the President of the United States! We've got Mike Tyson,' Pyfer bellowed inside the cage.
