Ajit Agarkar has revealed why Jasprit Bumrah has been snubbed as the India Test captain. During a press conference on Saturday, Agarkar said that Bumrah would not be available for all five Test matches in England which puts him out of Test captaincy race.
Speaking at the press conference, Agarkar said, “I mean, not really booms (Bumrah), because he led in Australia. He was vice captain in Australia but once he’s not going to be available for all the test matches, I think he’s more important to us as a player. We want him fit. There’s always that extra burden when you’re leading, managing 15-16, other people, there’s a lot that it takes out of you.”
“We’d rather have him bowling as well as he does, than putting that extra burden on him. He’s aware of it and he’d rather look after himself and be bowling fit.” Agarkar added
