'Not Fair': India Pacer's 'Workload' In Focus Ahead Of 4th Test. Not Jasprit Bumrah

NDTV6 days ago
Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra believes that no discussion over Mohammed Siraj 's workload management is 'not fair' ahead of the 4th Test encounter against England. There has been a lot of chatter surrounding Jasprit Bumrah 's workload with BCCI making it clear ahead of the Test series that he will no be playing all the matches. Chopra pointed out that although Siraj bowls a lot of overs but his workload management is hardly spoken about in contrast to his other teammates.
"He works very hard. He bowls a lot of overs. Interestingly enough, no one is talking about him, and you feel it's not fair that you talk about everyone, but not about him. However, he gives his 100 percent. Whenever he comes to bowl, he bowls wholeheartedly and runs in fast," he said on YouTube.
Meanwhile, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali sees shades of Virat Kohli in Shubman Gill's aggressive on-field demeanour, but feels the India batter's approach during the Lord's Test may have triggered a stronger response from the hosts.
Gill has been quite aggressive during the series, and his conduct at Edgbaston mirrored Kohli's famous century celebration at the same venue in 2018.
"My take is, it's fine. I think he's just trying to be competitive in front of a fight and very similar to Virat, I think it's fine," Moeen, currently featuring for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Global Super League (GSL), said during an interaction on Wednesday.
"But then, obviously the other team, what you've done is, I think you've actually brought out the best of England and the fight and that beast England can be.
"And I think it's a different side of England. They've shown all the players that it's great for the series to win. I don't know why it's getting criticised."

‘My heart sunk': England pacer Brydon Carse opens up on his gambling ban, credits Ben Stokes for reviving international career

England pacer Brydon Carse has had his breakthrough Test season ever since making his debut in October 2024, months after being banned for three months for breaching England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) gambling regulations in the past. Carse, who will turn 30 on July 31, after making his fourth straight Test appearance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, credited his skipper Ben Stokes for helping him through the rough back into the spotlight in the national set-up. Carse's international career was hampered by the three-month ban after he was deemed to have placed 303 bets on matches that he wasn't a part of between 2017 and 2019. 'There's no denying that when all of that stuff surfaced, I was actually on my way down to play a game for Durham at Warwickshire, and yeah, my heart sunk, trying to piece together what had happened six, seven years ago,' Carse told Michael Atherton in a chat on Sky Sports. 'But I think that whole process that I went through and the support that I had from Durham and from England, and the lessons that I learned. I'm a firm believer that everything does happen for a reason, and I've often said that. 'It's something I obviously deeply regret now. But I think it's something that going forward in my playing career and away from cricket in my personal life, it certainly, I feel, will make me stronger in certain situations that I come across.' Sharing the Durham county, the South Africa-born Carse revealed how the relationship with Stokes has benefitted him over the years. 'He's (Stokes) certainly been pivotal in everything that I've gone about on the field and off the field, and someone that I respect and someone that I'm very thankful for the relationship and friendship that I have with him,' Carse added. 'Ben has been someone who I've constantly had a relationship with from a young age and have spoken to him about many things. 'He was one of the first people who I did pick the phone up and ring. He was brilliant. 'The following morning, we caught up for a coffee and we had a great chat. He was very honest with me and gave me his advice, which I naturally took straight away.' Having picked up nine wickets in the series, Carse has been Stokes' steady pace hand against India since last month. Carse also slammed his maiden Test fifty in the second-innings of the Lord's Test that England went onto win by only 22 runs.
