Jasprit Bumrah released from squad: What did India assistant coach say on his fitness, workload just a day ago
India's Jasprit Bumrah (AP Photo/Jon Super) Indian cricket team's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate revealed that pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah had made himself available for only three of the five Tests in England, and the team management respected his decision considering his workload. This statement came after day one of the series-deciding fifth Test against England at The Oval on Thursday. Captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir waited until the last moment to make their decision about Bumrah , who played at Headingley, Lord's, and Old Trafford while sitting out the Edgbaston Test.

The team management faced a challenging decision regarding Bumrah's inclusion in the final Test at The Oval, where the pitch showed the most grass of the series. Ryan ten Doeschate press conference: On Jasprit Bumrah missing out, Shubman Gill run out, batting "It's quite a complex issue around Bumrah. We obviously want to wheel him in, but we also want to respect where his body's at, and on the basis of that, we just felt that it wasn't worth including him in the squad," Doeschate explained. "He has bowled a large number of overs, I know it doesn't always seem like that because he's only played three Tests and he only bowled in one innings in Manchester. But if you look at the loads, he's bowled a lot of overs, and like he did say coming into the tour, he was going to be available for three games, and we just felt it was right to honour that call," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Age Limits! 96-Year-Old Proves You're Never Too Old to Make a Change! Read More Undo When questioned about whether Bumrah was picking and choosing games due to his injury-prone past and back surgeries, Doeschate defended the player's position. "I don't think picking and choosing is a fair comment to Bumrah. He did say he was going to play three games, he left it up to us which three he played. We've tried to manage the situation, it's not ideal, I guess giving those guys attention, the guys who aren't playing particularly when you're carrying 18 is important," Doeschate stated. Poll Do you agree with Bumrah's decision to make himself available for only three Tests? Yes, it's wise management of his workload. No, he should have played all five Tests. The assistant coach further elaborated on the team's decision-making process regarding Bumrah's match selection. "Make them know that you're making all the decisions in good faith, in the best interest of the team, and just on that, all the guys who haven't played, they've been fantastic, they've trained the house down, they're disappointed when they get left out. They don't let it show when they're around the group and that's very important to creating a good culture for the guys who are playing to perform," he explained. Doeschate justified the decision to play Bumrah in Manchester rather than saving him for the final Test at The Oval. "Every time I've answered this question I've spoken about like putting the pieces of the puzzles together and guys were baffled when we didn't play him in the third Test. Our thinking was that the Oval, yes it's got bounce but it's normally a fairly good wicket for batting on, and we thought we'd roll the dice and if we'd won the toss we would have bowled," he said. "In hindsight you would have loved to have him here, but you would also have said if we come here 3-1 down that we didn't use him there, so it's trying to not guess but trying to look into the future and then see how we can manage him, and maybe England have got it spot on leaving the best bowling wicket for the last Test after he's played three," Doeschate concluded.

Ajni Rly Station Makeover Gathers Pace; Roof Plaza, Travelators in Plan
Nagpur: The redevelopment of Ajni railway station under the Central Railway's Nagpur division has picked up pace, with a 72-metre-wide roof plaza and several world-class amenities planned to transform it into a modern passenger hub. A key highlight of the project is the central concourse or roof plaza, which will house separate arrival and departure zones along with a host of passenger facilities. To improve connectivity, three new foot overbridges — including an 18-metre-wide one — are being built to link both sides of the station to the concourse. Work on the new G+3 station building on the east side is well underway, with brickwork and plastering completed. On the west side, the existing booking office and other departments have been relocated to enable construction of the G+2 building. Civil works on this side are currently in progress. To ease passenger movement, the redeveloped station will feature 21 lifts, 17 escalators, and six travelators. Other facilities include spacious waiting halls, CCTV surveillance, wayfinding signage, access control systems, and infrastructure friendly for Divyangjan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Age Limits! 96-Year-Old Proves You're Never Too Old to Make a Change!
