Pressure on Selectors

This statement clearly symbolizes how the Kangaroos glorify the sledging culture. It was seen on numerous ocassions the encounters of the two sides. But the pressure is now on Indian selectors to get back on the track and work out a plan for the upcoming series especially the Champions Trophy. Experts are urging India to build a stronger Test side with the new World Test Championship cycle starting in June. Ranji participation by the duo may be helpful, but the schedule is overcrowded and does not allow for too much domestic cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah was declared as ‘Man of The Series’ by claiming 32 wickets. Bumrah was also seen leaving the ground during the second day of the Sydney test. He was taken to the hospital for the scans as we could very well see the toll on his body and it is more necessary than anytime that Jasprit Bumrah should have some rest before the Champions Trophy 2025.
