Ravi Shastri picked up two Indian players whose workload needs to be managed
Cricket teams have eyes glued to the upcoming T20 World Cup which will start in October in Australia. Rohit Sharma‘s Men in Blue will look end the nine-year old draught of not winning the cup since 2013. They will be preparing for the same by playing in the upcoming Asia Cup and bilateral series.
Ravi Shastri has picked up two Indian players whose workload needs to be managed leading up to the T20 World Cup. Hardik Pandya is the first player in his list while the second one is fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, the latter has been ruled out of Asia Cup due to an injury.
“He [Pandya] is one of the most important cogs in India’s wheel. You take him out, the balance goes awry. We missed him last year at the World Cup where he could not bowl. No one is close to the quality that he possess,” Shastri said in a press conference organised by Star Sports.
“He has to be watched very closely. With the games coming up (before the T20 World cup), Bumrah and Hardik need to be observed very carefully to ensure there is no breakdown. They are your two important players.”
