Jasprit Bumrah trains with Delhi trainer to recover

In a bid to regain his fitness, Bumrah has been training with Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals trainer Rajnikanth Sivagnanam in Delhi to make a come back. Meanwhile, Team India cricketers generally train at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to recover from injuries, but the legacy of NCA created by Shankar Basu has once again fallen flat. Incidentally, the CoA rejected him earlier this earlier when they preferred Nick Webb as Team India trainer.

Meanwhile, there has been a debate with the quality of trainers at the NCA. Recently, all-rounder, Hardik Pandya has also not visited the academy in Bengaluru as he continues to recover from surgery. Recently a report in IANS stated a BCCI official not only questioned the turn of events but also asked if the process followed in the appointment during the CoA regime needs a re-look.
