Siraj’s heroics rekindle debate on workload management | BCCI says ‘no picking & choosing matches’

Mohammed Siraj’s heroic performance in the England Test series — bowling a staggering 185.3 overs and picking up 23 wickets — has reignited the national debate around player workload management. While fans and legends like Sunil Gavaskar are applauding Siraj's grit, questions are now being raised about others — including Jasprit Bumrah — who sat out matches citing workload. Gavaskar even claimed that Siraj has "debunked the workload myth." Reports suggest that the BCCI, led by Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar, is looking to clamp down on players selectively picking games under the pretext of fitness. Meanwhile, the medical team’s handling of Bumrah is also under scrutiny.
