Former South Africa allrounder Vernon Philander 39 believes Indiarsquos star speedster Jasprit Bumrahrsquos workload management needs to be handled better Bumrah who bowled nearly 1000 deliveries mdash 908 to be precise mdash during Indiarsquos recent BorderGavaskar Trophy series defeat in Australia eventually broke down in the fifth TestVernon Philander at St Georgersquos Park PICASHWIN FERROlsquoRecovery is importantrsquoAccording to Philander workload management has become a key issue for fast bowlers with numerous franchise leagues springing up across the world ldquoWorkload management is such a valuable topic With games coming thick and fast you have to make sure you look after your body Recovery is massively important Your fitness trainers and physios will have to guide the conversation in terms of whatrsquos allowed for a particular player There are leagues popping up everywhere so bowlers want to play maximum tournaments but at the end of the day from a bowlerrsquos perspective you only have lsquoxrsquo amount of balls in your body And you want to make sure that you deliver those balls at the right time and at the right competitionrdquo Philander said during a select media interaction on the sidelines of the SA20 where he is a commentatorToo much loadPacer Philander who raced to 50 Test wickets in just seven matches the second fastest to do so before going on to play 64 Tests and picking up 224 wickets besides scoring 1779 runs felt that Bumrah is a phenomenal bowler with the skill set and ability to shift his pace up and down ldquoBut itrsquos more about the Indian management how they manage him A guy like Bumrahhellip you want him to be playing all the key series and tournaments So they have to manage his workload in between these tournaments Obviously with the IPL coming up you want a player like him to be available for most games but therein lies the trick How do you manage him throughout the IPL season because therersquos also plenty of games as an India player If you look at the amount of games that India play over a calendar year that load is massiveSo you perhaps want to look at playing him in all the main features and for your socalled lesser teams you give other bowlers an opportunity But itrsquos such a tough chat to be had because as a bowler you want to go out there and there are records to be broken so you want to keep playing Hopefully India can get it right to manage a bowler like that The Champions Trophy is coming up and this workload management is a massive talking point I know Kagiso Rabada has been rested in the last week or sordquo concluded Philander
