Mentioned earlier about BCCI doing an excellent job on his workload management. They don't throw him in white ball cricket and he only plays when ICC tournaments is near. It happened for last 2 t-20 and same in ODI.
Having said that, BCCI seriously need to find some seam bowlers for a long run. Can't be dependent on Bumrah's availablity all the time.
I watched a recent cricket podcast that included Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh. Michael Vaughan asked them regarding modern workload management, and both of them laughed and criticized those policies, claiming fast bowlers need to bowl continuously to maintain true match rhythm. I have heard these exact sentiments from Kapil Dev, Michael Holding, and Wasim Akram.
I mentioned the above simply because I am not sure whether this workload management is helping Bumrah or any bowler for that matter. The majority of rested bowlers will suffer from stress fractures and side strains because they take too much rest, which creates the opposite effect. Bumrah is the best bowler we have ever produced, and I won't be surprised if he hangs up his boots in the next two years.
That's true and they were correct but at the same time, every generation think that they were tough and new generation is soft
In earlier times, team's yearly schedule used to be light and in those times they had plenty of time for recovery but that's not the case in modern time if you 3 format players and it's not restricted to just bowling your quota of overs but constant travelling throughout the year because nowadays schedule is jam packed, especially for team like India as their tours and matches bring money.
