New Delhi. The final match of the 5-match Test series held last year at Edgbaston, Burlingham is being played between India and England cricket team. The match, which started on Friday 1 July, was to be held last year itself, but due to the Corona epidemic, the last match of the series had to be postponed. Well now this match is being played. Bad news came for India before the match at Edgbaston. Actually, batsman Rohit Sharma got corona on the tour of England. This is the reason that in this match now fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been selected by the team management for the captaincy. After Bumrah was made the captain in the Indian team, many people are questioning this decision of the management. In this episode, the statement of a former player of India has also come to the fore.
Wasim Jaffer raised questions
Former player Wasim Jaffer has raised questions after Jasprit Bumrah was made the captain. He has said that it is a wrong decision to make Jaspree Bumrah the captain of the team, because he does not have captaincy experience. Jaffer has described Test match batsman Cheteshwar Pujara as the best option for captain in place of Bumrah.
Better option than Pujara, Bumrah: Jaffer
On making Bumrah the captain of the Test team, former cricketer Wasim Jaffer said on Cricinfo that “I have seen Pujara captaining in first class cricket, he is a good leader. He has played around 90 (actually 95) Test matches, so I think it would have been a better decision to make Pujara the captain.
For information, let us tell you that in this series four matches were captained by Virat Kohli. In the 5th match of the series, Rohit Sharma was to captain, but due to being Corona positive, the team management has decided to make Jasprit Bumrah the captain in his place.
