Pace legend warns Jasprit Bumrah against playing more than two Test in row in England: 'Could be a career-ender'
Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since suffering a back injury during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney, missing the subsequent limited-overs series against England at home as well as the ICC Champions Trophy. Former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond has advised Jasprit Bumrah to not play more than two Tests in a row in the tour of England later this year, keeping his fitness and workload in mind. Pace spearhead Bumrah, who is widely expected to succeed Rohit as Test skipper, had suffered a back spasm during the recent Test series in Australia which turned into an injury that forced him to miss the limited-overs series against England as well as the ICC Champions Trophy. Bumrah’s ’too valuable for the next World Cup’: Bond Bond, who had worked closely with Bumrah during his time as bowling coach of the Mumbai Indians, added that another injury caused due to excessive workload could be career-ending for Bumrah.
