Gautam Gambhir’s new stance, no star players will get the right to choose the series; Now the excuse of ‘workload’ will not work!

Gautam gambhir on workload management: The Test series against England ended by the Indian team at 2–2. Indian players performed brilliantly in this Test series. However, the Indian team is moving towards a new culture. While Mohammad Siraj, on the one hand, proved himself as India’s most trusted bowler by playing five consecutive Tests, now the impact of this performance is also going to be clearly visible on the team culture.

Gautam Gambhir, who became head coach, has already made his stand clear against ‘Mega Star Culture’. And now Siraj’s hard work has given the strong argument in his hand that he needed that every player is equal and those teams are at the top.

Now the exemption of ‘choosing the match’ will not work, Gautam Gambhir’s new stand

The attitude of Gautam Gambhir with the BCCI high officials and the selection committee now seems to be completely clear. According to the information, the board is unanimous that Centrally Contracting players will no longer be able to choose the series and matches according to their own. A senior BCCI officer told PTI, “It is not that the workload management will be completely denied, but now it will not be misused. Caution will be taken in the case of fast bowlers, but the excuse to leave the important matches will no longer be done.”

Siraj played five Test matches against England and bowled 185.3 overs. Also, if you add hard work done during fielding and nets, then this performance has become not just a figure, but a statement. In this series, names like Akash Deep and famous Krishna also appeared, which showed that no player is untouched now. For this reason, Gautam Gambhir can take big action.

Take out ‘Workload’, Gavaskar’s sharp statement

Amidst this debate, former captain Sunil Gavaskar directly attacked the theory of the workload management. He said, “When you play for the country, forget the pain. Rishabh Pant came out playing with fracture, the same passion is needed.” Gavaskar praised Siraj fiercely, saying, “He bowled with hearts in 5 Tests and broke the confusion of the workload. Now the time has come to expel the word ‘workload’ from the dictionary of Indian cricket.”
