Unusual bowling action could be making Jasprit Bumrah injury prone and testing his all-format availability

Bumrah has been handed another blow in his preparations, as he could possibly miss six consecutive ODIs if he suffers another sustained period out of action. Bumrah’s unconventional high-arm action, short run up to the crease, and physical exertion at the point of release could all be issues that are making him injury prone. Andy Roberts once told The Indian Express that the 29-year-old’s action was the “strangest action that I have seen on a cricket field.”
