The Story in Brief
Former India pacer Zaheer Khan has called Gurnoor Brar an 'exciting player' with the ability to bowl fast. Brar was among the young bowlers Khan worked with at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Zaheer said he expects a lot from the fast-tracked seamer if his progress continues smoothly.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Lanka Premier League final, Zaheer also addressed India's mounting injury list. More than a dozen regular players are at the CoE for rehab, including Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan, who will miss the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. Zaheer called injuries 'part of every individual's journey' and emphasised controlling what is in your hands. He backed Mohammed Shami to keep playing matches as he works his way back.
The Indian Opinion
Injuries are part of any cricketer's journey, Zaheer has rightly reminded us. Yet the hand-wringing over India's injury list shows how little patience fans have with fast bowlers. A broken machine does not produce results. Workload management is not a weakness. The real test is how the BCCI's Centre of Excellence prepares the next batch of bowlers. Can it keep them fit for a full WTC cycle or will it remain a revolving door?
