It’s tough to keep playing all formats, need to be smart and selective: Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is eagerly eyeing the challenge of featuring in Test matches in England, but the star India pacer admitted the difficulty of playing all three formats for a long time and said he will have to be more “selective” at some point.

While announcing the India squad for the tour of England, chief selector Ajit Agarkar had said that Bumrah might not be available for all five Test matches.

“Obviously, it is tough for any individual to keep playing everything for so long. I’ve been doing it for a while, but then eventually you have to understand where your body’s going, what is the important tournament,” Bumrah told former Australian skipper Michael Clarke in the Beyond 23 podcast. PTI
