In particular, the Asian Cup 2025 final will be held on September 28th, with India’s Test Series against the West Indies starting on October 2nd, followed by a second match from October 10th.
If India reached the finals, Jasprit Bumrah’s turnaround time was very short and his workload management strategy could be affected.
However, according to a new report, Bumura has notified the AJIT Agarkar-led Select Committee that Asia Cup 2025 can be played.
“Bumra has informed the selector that it can be used to select the Asian Cup. The Select Committee will meet and discuss when they meet next week,” the source said in a quote from the Indian Express.
Jasprit Bumrah is under fire for workload management
Bumrah has received intense criticism for his workload management plan at Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, which was recently concluded.
He featured in three of his five Test matches to manage his workload and avoid injuries. Before the series, it was decided that Bumrah would play three games and received BCCI approval.
He played his first, third and fourth games at Leeds Headingley at Lords, London and Old Trafford, Manchester, where he bowled 119.4 overs and picked 14 wickets.
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah plays in T20I format, so you don’t have to worry about your workload in the Asian Cup 2025. He needs to bowl a short spell.
India’s UAE travel plans revealed
India’s Cricket Committee (BCCI) selectors and other officials will meet in Mumbai on Tuesday, August 19th to select the team for the Continental Tournament.
Once the team is selected for the Asian Cup 2025, which will be played from September 9th to 28th, the team will depart for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Suryakumar Yadav & Co. departs early for the UAE to adapt to the conditions. In particular, Indian players took part in the competition without much match time without much time in the game, and the BCCI asked team administrators if they were in favor of a short camp in Bengaluru.
“Instead of camping here, the team will fly 34 days earlier and be able to practice decently before the tournament begins,” the source said.
