Jasprit Bumrah has not played for India since September, 2022, due to a
back injury which he suffered ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. While the
fast bowler was stated to make his return in the series against Sri Lanka
or New Zealand, it was further delayed due to match fitness concerns.
Australia pace Jeff Thompson believes that Bumrah will soon have to
take a call on his workload and for the sake of longevity, he will have to
prioritise either limited overs cricket or Test cricket.“There is so much cricket. They play all year round. We didn’t do that. We
used to play seasons, the summer season. Occasionally we would go to
England for our winter. It was a long tour, four and a half months. But
generally we just played the summer so we would gradually build up after
Christmas full on. Because I knew I was going to get rest,” Thomson said.
