The issue has come up at a time when Bumrah is preparing to return after an injury, while Rana was brought back into the T20I squad without playing competitive cricket after recovering from the hamstring injury. Ramesh called for a proper explanation of his double standard. Earlier, Ashish Nehra revealed the truth about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s World Cup future.
This injury forced Bumrah to miss the recent Test series in Sri Lanka, which India won 1-0. Now, India’s premier fast bowler is expected to return to action later this week during the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan at home and the Asian Games 2026 in Japan.
Speaking about Harshit Rana, the young fast bowler had suffered a hamstring injury in February. He returned to India’s T20I squad in June despite not playing any competitive cricket before his comeback. Rana then suffered another hamstring injury during India’s tour of Ireland and England.
Sadagoppan Ramesh exposes double standards in India’s selection process
Reacting to the issue, Sadagoppan Ramesh said that this is a clear example of the double standard in Indian selection. The former Indian opening batter believes that the same fitness and selection rules should apply to everyone.
Ramesh also pointed out that even established players such as Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have been asked to prove their fitness before returning. He questioned why Rana was selected directly after injury without any clear explanation from the BCCI.
He said, “Keep the parameters the same for everyone is what I am saying. In fact, the more established and proven cricketers are clearly the ones under the most pressure. Like Bumrah, even Shami was asked to prove his fitness. Yet, how Harshit Rana was picked straightaway from injury has been given no explanation, and the BCCI has never spoken about it.”
Big warning for Gautam Gambhir and selectors over Jasprit Bumrah
The cricket pundit has further warned Gambhir and the selectors by saying that Bumrah remains a player India cannot afford to replace easily, so they must think twice before making any nonsense call in the name of transition.
He signed off by saying, “If this is the case, why not let Bumrah go in Tests? You anyway keep saying that in transition, we don’t want superstar players and bravely decide to go without them. Like that, say we don’t want Bumrah either. Obviously, you can’t because there is no other Bumrah.”
