The news that Jaspreet Bumrah will be used sparingly during limited overs international series in Australia and New Zealand to keep the bowling spearhead fit and fine for the ICC World Cup next year has left Mumbai Indians concerned. However, a Board of Control for Cricket in India senior executive has allayed the franchisee’s fears. Albeit, not on record.
Bumrah, just like for Team India, is crucial for Mumbai Indians fortunes in the IPL. The lethal seamer holds the key to his team’s success. The decision to rest him for some games Down Under and in New Zealand has also cast doubt about the bowler’s availability for the IPL. Captain Virat Kohli has already put it on record that the Indian pace attack should be rested for the IPL and the BCCI should compensate the bowlers for their revenue loss.
There was no suggestion to address the franchisee’s concern. There is no substitute to match Bumrah’s skills. In the World Cup year, leading international bowlers will not be available for the entire duration of the league. The best available talent is already contracted. There is no one in the ‘players pool’, who can come closer to Bumrah.
