Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has taken a bold stand against the prevalent notion of 'workload' management in cricket, highlighting the commendable performance of pacer Mohammed Siraj during the recent Test series against England.
Gavaskar applauded Siraj for consistently delivering outstanding bowling spells, playing all five Tests and securing 23 wickets, despite physical demands. In contrast, Jasprit Bumrah missed a crucial game due to workload management.
Gavaskar argued that commitment to representing the country should surpass concerns about physical fatigue, drawing parallels with the relentless dedication of soldiers. He called for the term 'workload' to be removed from Indian cricket discussions, emphasizing mental resilience over physical strain.
