Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised against rushing Jasprit Bumrah back to fitness ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023, set to be held in India between the months of October and November. Shastri, in an interview with The Week said that Bumrah was a very important cricketer for India and should be handled with care.

"He (Bumrah) is a very important cricketer. But if you rush him for the World Cup then you might lose him for four months later on, much like Shaheen Afridi. So there's a thin line and it needs to be thought about," Shastri told The Week in an interview.
