Indore: Recovering from a hamstring injury and a side strain, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar assessed himself for a comeback when he participated in a “skill session” during Indian team’s practice ahead of the series-opener against Bangladesh.
The Indian team management seem to have taken charge of Bhuvneshwar’s final phase of rehabilitation.
Bhuvneshwar’s injury has been a concern for the Indian team since he came back from the West Indies after the limited overs series. He followed a rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy.
“Bhuvi is here for a skill session with the team. The team management just wants him to get into the groove,” a team source told PTI when enquired about the pacer’s presence at the net session. He had a catching session with fielding coach R Sridhar and then participated briefly in the net session.
He bowled a few deliveries from full run-up but it was evident that he wasn’t going full tilt. However Bhuvneshwar’s presence at the session is a welcome news considering that the 29-year-old is still an important member as far as India’s white ball cricket is concerned.
With Khaleel Ahmed a work in progress and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah’s workload a priority for the team management, a fit-again Bhuvneshwar is a necessity in this set-up with his experience and variations in the shortest format. However, the team management remained tight-lipped about his fitness. (PTI)
