Jasprit Bumrah will not get leadership rolls on tour to England
New Delhi: The Indian team has to visit England in late June. The series of five Test matches will be played on a one and a half month long tour. In this series, important in terms of the next World Test Championship, the Indian team management wants to take off from a separate plan. According to the news, the leader of the pace attack and the vice -captain Jasprit Bumrah is hardly seen in the leadership role. You will remember that in the last Test match that India played, Rohit Sharma dropped himself, after which Jasprit Bumrah captained the Indian team.
According to the news published in the Indian Express, the BCCI source said, ‘We want a player who is available for all five Tests and should be given the role of vice-captain. Bumrah will not play all five matches, so we do not want to appoint separate vice-captains for different matches. It would be better to ensure the captain and vice-captains and play all five Tests.

Jasprit Bumrah gave India the only win on the last tour of Australia in the last of 2024, besides the team captained in two other Tests, but Bumrah is unlikely to play in all five Tests in England, so the selectors can look for a player who can play throughout the tour.
It has also been found out that selectors want to hand over sub -captaincy to a young player, which can be prepared as a leader in future. In the current team, only two players fit into this parameter. First Shubman Gill and second Rishabh Pant. Gill is 25 years old while Rishabh Pant is 27 years old. Other players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul have crossed 30 years, while Yashasvi Jaiswal is just 23 years old and he is not being considered fit for this role.

The Indian Cricket Board is also concerned about the record of Bumrah’s injury. During the New Year Test in the Sydney Test, he suffered a back injury, due to which he stayed out for three months and was also out of the Champions Trophy. This was the reason that he could not play even in the first half of the IPL. Bumrah has suffered a back injury before. After surgery in 2022, he stayed away from cricket for about 11 months including the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia.
