Miffed Dravid calls off Bumrah’s fitness test: Reports

Rahul Dravid headed National Cricket Academy in Bangalore refused to conduct Bumrah’s mandatory fitness test at the camp recently.

NCA director Rahul Dravid, along with physiotherapist Ashish Kaushik reportedly met Bumrah on Wednesday and asked the bowler to consult his own set of specialists, a report in the Times of India on Friday stated.

They have told him, ‘You’re fine. So there’s no need of a fitness test. You should go and seek it from the specialists you’ve been working with’,” TOI quoted a source.

Bumrah didn’t want to go to NCA because of the “poor training” according to the “feedback of some senior players.”

“Most senior players don’t want to go to the NCA. Instead of addressing that concern and understanding why players don’t want to come there, the NCA is turning him away. That’s not how we need to deal with a cricketer who’s changed the face of Indian fast bowling over the last two years,” the source added.

Recently Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s injury which went unnoticed during his training at the academy is also a point of question.
