(Reuters) -Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah said he told India's cricket board (BCCI) that he did not want to be considered for the test captaincy as his workload has to be carefully managed due to his back problems.
The BCCI picked top-order batter Shubman Gill as captain following Rohit Sharma's decision to quit the test format last month, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar saying they could not risk burdening Bumrah with a leadership role.
