Ben Stokes Frustrated by Persistent Jasprit Bumrah Injury Questions
England captain Ben Stokes has voiced his exasperation with the repeated inquiries about Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s injury ahead of their upcoming series. Stokes’ weariness was palpable as he expressed his hope to avoid the topic during a recent press conference.
“Thought I’d Get Through a Press Conference Without the Bumrah Question”
Speaking to reporters, Stokes candidly admitted his fatigue regarding the Bumrah discussion. “I honestly thought I’d make it through a press conference without being asked about Jasprit Bumrah’s injury,” he stated. This suggests that the topic has become a recurring and somewhat irritating theme in his interactions with the media.
Focus Shifting to On-Field Action
While Bumrah’s absence undoubtedly impacts the Indian bowling attack, Stokes appears keen to move past speculation and concentrate on the cricket itself. He likely wants to discuss strategies, team dynamics, and the exciting prospects of the upcoming matches, rather than dwell on an opponent’s injury concerns.
