‘We have laid out some plans…’: Rohit Sharma on bowlers’ workload management in packed Test schedule | Cricket News – Times of India

Date:

NEW DELHI: When India kicks off a heavy Test schedule against Bangladesh on Thursday, skipper Rohit Sharma claimed that they have plans in place to control the workload of their pacers.
The first of India’s ten Test matches will take place in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. Players like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj may find themselves taking on a lot of work over the course of 15 weeks, particularly in Australia from November to January.
“We have laid out some plans on how we are going to manage these bowlers. But again, it all depends on the workload that has been carried by them in these games. So yeah, we will monitor that. I think we have done that pretty well. Even when we played against England [at home earlier this year], we managed to get Jasprit Bumrah one Test match off. We managed to give Siraj one Test match off,” Rohit said during the pre-series press conference against Bangladesh in Chennai, as per ANI.
The Rohit-led team will host three Tests against New Zealand following the conclusion of their two-match Test series against Bangladesh on October 1. After the series concludes in early November, India will go to Australia for an eight-week stint consisting of five Test matches.
“So it all depends on how the body feels at that particular time, what the [strength and conditioning] is, and what the physios feel about them when is the right time to give them a break from the game, and then take the call,” he added.
