Ravi Shastri emphasizes the need to manage Jasprit Bumrah's workload across formats, endorsing Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami ahead of New Zealand tour.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has strongly advocated for strategic workload management regarding pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Speaking on squad tactics ahead of India's upcoming tour to New Zealand commencing on October 22, Shastri highlighted that the premier fast bowler should not play all three formats.
Addressing the broader squad composition, Shastri shared his enthusiastic endorsement for the selection of seasoned campaigners Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami in the T20I setup. According to the former coach, experienced players are vital to thrive in the tough conditions of New Zealand.
With the marquee 2027 ODI World Cup looming on the horizon, the focus remains firmly on preserving key assets. Shastri underscored that carefully monitoring Bumrah's appearances across international fixtures is essential to keep him fresh and effective for the global tournament.
