Sourav Ganguly To Have A Look Into Jasprit Bumrah's Fitness Test Saga

The president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India Sourav Ganguly set to look into the issue of Jasprit Bumrah. After National Cricket Academy refuse to conduct pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness test, the BCCI president set to speak with Rahul Dravid regarding the matter.

Jasprit Bumrah is currently recovering from a back injury that has kept him away from international cricket for quite some time. Bumrah last played for India in the West Indies Tests and has missed Test series and limited-overs assignments against South Africa and Bangladesh at home.

I will speak to Rahul Dravid – Sourav Ganguly

As per a report in Times of India, Dravid and the concerned team at the NCA “politely” told Bumrah that they will not conduct any fitness test. It is understood that NCA was “unconvinced” about doing the test as Bumrah chose not to consult the academy but his own set of specialists for his treatment and recovery. Bumrah had travelled to England for his treatment and was undergoing recovery under his own set of physios.

The pacer was recently spotted bowling at the Indian team’s nets in Visakhapatnam ahead of the second ODI between India and West Indies. The report added that Bumrah was at his usual best in the nets and looked much improved after undergoing recovery. He has not played for India since the team’s tour of West Indies, earlier this year.
