Former New Zealand crisner Shane Bond expressed concern about Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. He made a courageous statement, saying that if a fast bowler faces another back injury in the same place, then his career will be over.
The Indian Pacer Jasprit Bumrah has remained from the action since Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 was concluded in January. The fast bowlers faced a back injury during the last game of the series, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Groun in Sydney, where he led the side.
Jasprit Bumrah faced injury during Australian tests
Bumrah, which in a row of balls over 150 supplements, has potentially faced injury due to additional load. Pacer suffered back pain after only 10 supplements in the match, and then he did not crush him in the second ubaca, even though he went out for suffering.
After that, the Bumrah was excluded from the England in England, as well as the ICC champion of the Trophy 2025, which India won. The Pacer is reportedly ready to return through the Indian Premier League (IPL), but given his history of injuries, he will always be below the radar.
I wouldn’t want to play it more than two in a row – Shane Bond on Jasprit Bumrah
Shane Bond believes that Jasprit Bumrah will be fine over time, but emphasized that his work load must be well managed. He emphasized that the transition from an IPL test series against England could be dangerous for Pacer, saying that he should not play three games in a row.
“Look, I think Bums will be fine but that is just that [workload] management [matters]”Bond said Espncricinfo. “Looking at the trips and schedule that goes forward, where are the opportunity to surrender to him, but really where are periods of danger? And often it’s [transition from] IPL to the test championship will be a risk. “
“He is too hard for the next World Cup and Things. So, you would watch five tests in England, I wouldn’t want to play it for more than two in a row. Exiting the rear end of the IPL end of the test match will be a big risk. And how they manage it to be crucial.”
Another injury in the same place, it could be career – Shane Bond on Jasprit Bumrah
Shane Bond pointed out that the Indian team management will be happy if Jasprit Bumrah will go through an English summer without any injury problems. But he quickly warned them, saying that another injury at the same point could be “a career. He added: he added:
“Maybe they will say, look, these are a total of four test matches. Or three. If we manage to break through the English summer and it is appropriate, we can probably go with confidence that we can pass it over the rest of the format.
“So it’s hard because he’s your best bowler, but if he has another injury in the same place, it could be, potentially, a career, because I’m not sure you can re -surgery at that place.”
