ENG vs IND 2018: Unsuccessful Thumb Surgery Leaves Jasprit Bumrah’s Tests Status in Doubt

Indian Cricket team pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, who had thumb surgery in England, didn’t turn out to be a great success and thus, his participation in the Tests against England remains in doubts.

Meanwhile, Bumrah sustained the injury during the T20I against Ireland on 27th June. As a result, he missed the limited-overs encounters against England.

The 24-year-old pacer underwent surgery in England, but it wasn’t a great success.

It is a displaced fracture on the left-hand thumb. From what I know, the operation wasn’t a great success,” a board official said.

However, the selectors have included Jasprit Bumrah in the Test squad for the first three matches. But they are still unsure whether he will be fit ahead of the games.

I guess technically he is out for 3-4 weeks but being a bowler and injury in his non-bowling hand, the team management might gamble if there is an emergency or they can make him play with the bandages,” the source added.

The source was also critical on players’ fitness and slammed the Yo-Yo test. He also feels there should be multiple tests to judge a player’s fitness.

In my opinion, fitness tests should be mandatory but the word Tests means a number of tests,” he said. “There should be a series of tests conducted with test different parameters. Since all the players are flown specially to Bangalore for the test, I’m sure there is enough time to conduct multiple tests and assess the player completely and not only on endurance,” the official concluded.
