The Story in Brief
Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the final ODI against England last month after an impact on his knee aggravated a recurring issue. A former India star has blamed the captain, coach and selectors, sports.ndtv.com reports. The outlet did not name the former player but said the criticism centres on the management of Bumrah's workload and the decision to play him in matches that risked further injury.
The Indian Opinion
The instinct to assign blame rather than examine root causes is a tired script in Indian cricket. Yes, Bumrah's workload management deserves scrutiny. But pinning a recurring knee issue solely on the current captain, coach and selectors ignores years of cumulative stress, his unique action, and the body's natural limits. The real question is: will the team management now publish a transparent load-monitoring plan for the 2023 World Cup, or will we wait for the next breakdown to repeat this blame game?
