Jasprit Bumrah had given a historic performance on the recently concluded Australia tour. He took 32 wickets during 5 test matches of Border Gavaskar Trophy. Along with this, he also became the bowler who took the most wickets in a series on Australian soil. Despite this explosive performance, Ramji Srinivasan, who was the fitness trainer of the team captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2011, has demanded to keep Bumrah out of the Champions Trophy. After all, why has Srinivasan asked to keep Bumrah away from this big tournament? Let us know.

Why should Bumrah not be in the squad?

Ramji Srinivasan cited his fitness as the main reason behind keeping Jasprit Bumrah out of the squad. According to him, if there is even the slightest doubt then one should not put them in danger by taking them to the Champions Trophy. Srinivasan called Bumrah a treasure.

He said that 'Bumrah is a treasure and he should be protected. The Champions Trophy is not the end of the world. If there is even the slightest doubt about his fitness then he should not be made a part of the squad. He has never bowled in 5 consecutive Test matches in his career.

Let us tell you that during the first innings of the Sydney Test, Bumrah suddenly had a back problem and went out. His scan was also done during the match itself. However, their report has not been made public. After this he did not bowl in the second innings.

Bumrah will recover in 6 months

Srinivasan was the strength and conditioning coach of Team India. Therefore, he also made a guess regarding Bumrah's injury. Let us tell you that during the Sydney Test, the problem of back spasm regarding Bumrah was first reported. Regarding this, Srinivasan said that if it is so then there is nothing to worry about. He will get well soon.

Srinivasan believes that by the time he left for India, he would have started feeling better. Usually this happens after a long series. But if the injury is related to a stress fracture and is between grade 1 to grade 3, then the problem can be big. In such a situation, it may take 6 months for Bumrah to recover.
