Injustice with Jaspreet Bumrah? What did chief selector Ajit Agarkar do despite selecting him for the team?
Team India was announced for the 2 Test series against Bangladesh. With the announcement of the Indian team, the injustice done to Jasprit Bumrah was also clearly visible. Team India was announced under the leadership of Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, but it was not told who would be Rohit Sharma's deputy i.e. the vice-captain of the team. Actually, before this, Bumrah was the vice-captain of the Test team. But, the selectors did not clarify that he will be the vice-captain in the Test series against Bangladesh.
The question is what is the reason behind this decision of the Indian selectors? Why did chief selector Ajit Agarkar do this to Jasprit Bumrah even after selecting him for the team? Why did he ignore Bumrah as the vice-captain? Are the Indian selectors no longer in the mood to keep Bumrah as the vice-captain of the Test team? The answers to all these questions were being heard as speculations for a long time, according to which it was being said that Jasprit Bumrah could not be the vice-captain in the Test series against Bangladesh. Someone else can be given this responsibility in his place.
Now if someone has to become the vice-captain of the Test team in place of Bumrah, then who will be that, is a question for later. First of all, it is important to know that if the selectors have decided to remove Bumrah from the vice-captaincy, then why have they done so? The reason behind this can be related to Bumrah's workload. Earlier also the same news had come out in media reports that the selectors' entire focus is on managing Bumrah's workload. For this reason, someone else can be given the vice-captaincy of the Test team in his place.
Now the question is, if not Bumrah then who? At present, nothing has been clarified in the announcement of Team India against Bangladesh. After the Test series against Bangladesh, India has to play a series with New Zealand. After that, they have to tour Australia. It is expected that if not the series with New Zealand, then before the Australia tour, India may get a new vice-captain in Test cricket.
