India have made a lot of accommodation for Jasprit Bumrah: Varun Aaron

Former Indian pacer and analyst Varun Aaron has stated that the Indian team management, led by Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir, wouldn’t want to give even an inch or a quarter to the opposition, especially after the 0-3 home series loss to New Zealand.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Varun asserted that the Indian team management has made a lot of accommodations for the Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who managed to play only three out of five Tests against England.

Notably, Bumrah, who has been playing the Asia Cup 2025 campaign, has been selected for the forthcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. Varun felt that the Indian seamer might play only two out of three ODIs against Australia Down Under to manage his workload. 

"After the drubbing we got against New Zealand, I don't think Gautam Gambhir or Shubman Gill, because it is his first home series as captain, I'm sure he does not want to give even an inch, not even a quarter. I think they are very serious about Test cricket. India have made a lot of accommodations for Bumrah. If you are managing someone's workload to that extent, you want him in every series. I think they might manage Bumrah's workload in the ODIs in Australia as well. He might just play two," Varun Aaron said on ESPN Cricinfo.

Moreover, Aaron also observed that all three spinners, Washington Sundar, Kudeep Yadav and Axar Patel, could bat, which is the best part of the Indian set-up for the upcoming two-match Test series in the ongoing WTC 2025-27 cycle.

"All three (spinners) can bat, that is the best part of the Indian set up, where you have somebody like Axar, Jadeja, and Sundar. I hope that Kuldeep Yadav gets a game in this series, but if they choose that route, they can have 3 spinners who can bat. Kuldeep Yadav has been waiting too long in the wings, and he has been putting up performances in every competition, except Test cricket," Varun Aaron said.
