In such a situation, England will continue its policy of adopting a cautious approach along with managing Jofra Archer’s workload in their upcoming five-match ODI series against Australia. 29-year-old Archer performed brilliantly in the first T20 match of the 3-match series against Australia, taking 2 wickets for 31 runs, but he was not included in the playing eleven of the second match. The third match was canceled due to rain, due to which Archer got a break again. Therefore, this trend may continue in the upcoming five-match ODI series starting at Trent Bridge from September 19. That is, Archer will not be played in all the matches in the entire five-match ODI series. Jos Buttler gave this statement about Jofra Archer England’s limited overs captain Jos Buttler has confirmed that Archer’s workload will be managed throughout the series. He indicated that Archer may not play in most of the matches as the number of overs and intensity of the game in ODI cricket is higher than in T20 matches. Buttler also said that the team’s goal is to get Archer back to Test cricket as soon as possible. Butler told Sky Sports, “Archer will have to be managed carefully throughout the series. He is doing well in T20 cricket, but there you only bowl four overs. There is a lot of difference in the overs and intensity in ODIs, and we want him back in Test cricket soon.” England’s interim head coach Marcus Trescothick said that Archer is aware of the team’s plans and is comfortable with it. He also said that the team management is looking at a big goal and all the coaches, physios and directors are working together on Archer’s fitness. Trescothick said, “Archer is already aware of the plan. It is decided before every match whether he will play or not. We know what we have to do and he is comfortable with it. This is part of a big plan, which involves coaches, directors, physios and everyone else. His workload will also be managed in the ODI series.”

But the statement given by Gambhir on this may irritate those players who often get injured. In the present times, looking at the way cricket is being played every day, injury management and workload management of the players are often mentioned. However, it is believed that after Gambhir becomes the head coach, some big changes will be seen in Indian cricket, the biggest change of which will be that the players will not get the break they want. Team India has to tour Sri Lanka next month to participate in the ODI and T20 International series and this will be the first assignment of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding injury and workload management Just before the start of the Sri Lanka series, Gambhir has clearly said that if a player gets injured, he can recover and make a comeback, but he will not be given breaks repeatedly in the name of injury and workload management. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, ‘Look, I have a strong belief in one thing that if you can play, then you should play in all three formats. I have never believed in injury management, if you get injured, go and recover, it’s as simple as that. When you play international cricket, you should do as much as you can. If you ask any top player, they want to play all three formats. They don’t want the tag of a red ball bowler or a white ball bowler. Injuries are a part of any player’s career, if you play all three formats and get injured, you can go back and recover and come back into the team. You should play all three formats, I don’t believe much in keeping some players just for Tests, that we will manage his injury, we will manage his workload. Look, as a professional cricketer your career is very short, you are playing for your country, so you should play as much as you can. If you are in very good form, then play all three formats.

So now Chennai Super Kings team head coach Stephen Fleming has broken his silence and given a big statement regarding this issue. Fleming says that this has been seen only because of his workload. It is noteworthy that against Punjab, Dhoni was bowled by Harshal Patel on the very first ball. Stephen Fleming gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni’s workload Let us tell you that in the pre-match conference held in Ahmedabad before Chennai’s match against Gujarat, Stephen Fleming said about Dhoni – We are managing his workload. It’s risky, and a delicate balance. At the beginning of the season we saw that he was taking risks while batting even due to a muscle strain. We could have lost him for the entire tournament. Fleming further said – We are just trying to manage how he can impact the match by just hitting sixes and fours. So far he has done this very well. This is the best for us in the competition.
