Focus on Bumrah fitness for the next month as Siraj not picked for the global event; selectors go with four spinners and three seamers template
"BORING tha PC (It was a boring PC),"" murmured Rohit Sharma as he and Ajit Agarkar laughed, perhaps without realising that the microphone was still on.
The press conference where India announced their squad for the three ODIs against England and the ICC Champions Trophy had just ended in Mumbai. Unlike other Rohit press conferences, which more often than not are filled with anecdotes, jokes and comical moments, this was a serious one.
The last couple of weeks since the Border-Gavaskar loss and the events that transpired off the field warranted one.
From the new guidelines for players, playing domestic cricket to update on Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammed Siraj not making the cut to having four spinners, quite a few topics were addressed and both the captain and chief selectors answered most of them to the point.
Take for example, the one on the new guidelines for the senior men that was doing rounds.

RAHUL'S REIGN OF RELENTLESS DEFEATS
IT began not with a whisper, but with a political detonation across the Gangetic plains. Last week, Bihar, always a keen weathervane for shifting political winds, delivered a verdict so mortifying for the Congress that even its most seasoned apologists struggled to dress it up. Contesting 61 seats, the party staggered out with a miserable six. It wasn't a defeat-it was a spectacle of collapse. And at its centre, as always, stood Rahul Gandhi, the prudish prince of a shrinking empire, presiding over the most dramatic political implosion in the history of a once-dominant national party.
