IND vs WI: We've Missed Bumrah And Prasidh - Paras Mhambrey Opens Up On Importance Of Workload Management

India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey emphasized the importance of workload management for fast bowlers after India’s thumping win over West Indies in the first Test at Windsor Park in Dominica.

India have struggled with their fast-bowlers injuries in recent times. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Prasidh Krishna and few other fast bowlers of the team have spent a considerable amount of time on the sidelines. Jasprit Bumrah, who is the leader of the attack, has been one of the most affected Indian players in terms of injury.

The fast-bowler has not played for Team India since last year, missing the T20 World Cup, the home Test series against Australia as well as the World Test Championship final. He has still not returned to action. The Indian team management will be hoping that the pacer recovers quickly in time for this year’s World Cup.

Paras Mhambrey on workload management:

Speaking after the first Test against West Indies, Paras Mhambrey stated that the bowlers’ workload management is a big concern for the team management going forward. India have a jam-packed schedule this year. The players were playing non-stop cricket before getting some much-needed month-long break after the WTC final last month.

And the ongoing tour of the West Indies has once again started a very busy and important phase for Team India. After the West Indies tour ends, India will visit Ireland for a short T20I series before starting preparations for the Asia Cup and the all-important World Cup at home.

“Injuries and workload of bowlers is a big concern. If you look at the last one-and-a-half years, Bumrah is a player who we have missed a lot. We have not decided who is going to play white ball and who red ball but eventually we have to give breaks to our bowlers,” Mhambrey said.

“This break also provides us an opportunity to create bench strength. Going forward, we have to take care of bowlers’ fitness and workload management.

“Workload management is one of the important things we have been working on it for the last couple of years… obviously we have missed Bumrah and Prasidh who have been part of the set-up.

“We have learnt from that. Looking at the schedule we have ahead of us, we play a lot of different formats and in that sense workload management will be important. A lot of discussion has been going on with the captain and in the team management as well,” he added.
