Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Sai Sudharshan, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and multiple other Team India cricketers are on the sidelines because of injury reasons. Over the years, there have been very few occasions when so many cricketers are injured at the same time.
"We were very strict during Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri's time. I feel we need to get back to that. It is necessary to be stricter, I feel. We were at our fittest at that time. Our fast bowlers were playing continuously at that time. If anyone failed the fitness test, they were not picked. Players were keeping themselves very fit," the former cricketer said in his YouTube video.
Wasim Jaffer asks the Indian team management to become strict for players' fitness
"I feel we need to be a little stricter with the physical tests that we have... a lot depends on fitness, so we need to get back to that with such high demands and to stay at the top as a team," Wasim Jaffer suggested.
'IPL franchises have the right to push their players'
Wasim Jaffer expressed that the IPL franchises have the right to push their players to take part in their matches as they spend crores on them. If the physios declare the players fit, then the franchises have the right to ask their players to perform.
Jaffer further added that the franchises would never ask a player to play if the player was not fit. The player would only ask to play if the physio declared the player fit.
"They have their own personal right to want the player to be available if they have spent crores. If a player does not come or pulls out, all the combinations and plans are spoiled. As long as the trainers and physios declare players fit, they have the right. It will never happen that a player is unfit and he will be pushed to keep playing", Wasim Jaffer concluded.
