Former India spinner turned commentator Harbhajan Singh has shared his views on Jasprit Bumrah’s workload management in the ongoing Test series in England. Harbhajan Singh also stated that Bumrah must play all five Tests if he is fully fit, as no opposition would like playing against him as well.

Speaking on the sidelines of WCL 2025, Harbhajan Singh said, as quoted by RevSportz: “Look, Jasprit is the most honest cricketer out there. If he’s not in pain, he won’t just bowl a four-over spell – he’ll give you a 10-over spell. He did that in Australia too. He bowled so much there that he got injured. His action contributes to that. His run-up is short, and to bowl at high speed, the finish of his action puts a lot of stress on the body. If his body is fine, make him play all five Tests. If he plays five Tests, India will win the series. Ask any opposition – they’ll all say they don’t like facing Bumrah.”

He also added that workload management has become a new term used mostly only in the current era, but also stated that the management must be careful if players are injury-prone.

“See, workload management is a new thing. Once the IPL came, people started saying, ‘I’ll bowl 24 balls in a match and they’ll be absolutely spot on,’ and that’s how players trained. If you go back in time, what was workload? Workload was fitness. Players played five-match series back then too. But yes, if someone is concerned about injury, then you do need to be careful,” Harbhajan Singh concluded.
