McGrath advises Bumrah on longevity and injury management

McGrath advises Bumrah on longevity and injury management

Jasprit Bumrah, a fast bowler for India, has been dealing with injuries that might affect his participation in the upcoming Test series in Sri Lanka.

Glenn McGrath, a famous Australian fast bowler, has given Bumrah some advice.

McGrath says Bumrah should focus on making his body stronger to handle the stresses of fast bowling and to avoid injuries.

He also suggests that fast bowlers should work hard off the field to build strength and fitness.

McGrath believes that protecting bowlers too much can make them weaker and more prone to injuries.

He shares his own experience of overcoming a serious injury by getting stronger.

India's team management has been using a rotation policy to manage the workload of their players and prevent injuries.

Bumrah's participation in different formats of cricket is also being managed based on the next ICC event.
