New Delhi. The Indian cricket team’s tour of Australia was disappointing and its dream of playing in the World Test Championship final was shattered with a shameful defeat.

Star bowler Jasprit Bumrah got injured during the Sydney Test and now questions are being raised about his playing in the Champions Trophy. Till now BCCI has not given any update on his injury. Do you know how it is decided how many days’ rest an injured player needs?
Jasprit Bumrah felt back pain on the second day of the Sydney Test, after which he left the field. He did not return to bowling even on the third day. When coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about this in the press conference, he avoided it. Now everyone has to find out how serious is the injury of their star bowler. What came out in the scan? Will he be fit before the Champions Trophy?
How is it decided how many days to rest?
The severity of the injury suffered by any player decides how many days he will remain away from the field. If the injury suffered by a player falls in Grade 1 category, then at least two to three weeks of rehabilitation is necessary for him. In case of Grade 2 injury, the player’s recovery may take 6 weeks. If grade 3 is the most serious, it requires three months of rest and rehabilitation.
what is grade
Grade 1 injuries are mild (tear) to the muscles. The player usually feels pain during or after walking or running. It is worth tolerating. Grade 2 injuries occur slightly more in the muscles. Players feel pain during the activity, causing them to stop playing. Grade 3 injuries are more serious in the muscles. The player suddenly feels pain and may fall to the ground.
Bumrah may be out of the next series
The 5-match T20I series between India and England is going to start from January 22. Immediately after this, the Indian team will play a 3-match ODI series against England from 6 February. There is little hope of Jasprit Bumrah playing in this series. This will be the last ODI series for the Indian team before the Champions Trophy.
