Since Mohammed Siraj has played so much cricket in recent years, India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has stressed the need of regulating his workload. With international cricket’s increased demands, workload management is a big topic.
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir had indicated before the England visit that top bowler Jasprit Bumrah would play only three of the five Tests. Bumrah skipped the Edgbaston Test and may miss the last series game as planned.
Ten Doeschate named Mohammed Siraj a “lion” for his enthusiasm and dedication.
“It is equally important to manage the workload of someone like Mohammed Siraj, who is always ready to bowl those extra overs, like Stokes did on day five at Lord’s,” said ten Doeschate at the media briefing.
We overlook how lucky we are to have someone like them. I know he doesn’t always have the returns you expect from a fast bowler, but he’s like a lion and contributes something special to our bowling attack anytime he has the ball “Added.
Bumrah will not be rested for the fourth Test of the England series in Manchester, according to the assistant coach. India hopes to tie the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy after trailing 1-2.
We know we have him for one of the last two Tests. The series is on the line in Manchester, therefore playing him is likely’, Ten Doeschate remarked.
“How many days of cricket will we get up there, what is our greatest chance of winning that game, and how it fits in with The Oval must all be considered. He stated that the remaining two games should be considered as a series.
