Bumrah needs to be tried in Test matches

We needed to try him in this test series to see if he can sustain intensity and pace while bowling 20 overs a day.

Absolutely. You won’t know until you try. We can’t just assume things about bowlers. Its not like there is day light difference here that we are picking a t20 specialist batsman to save us a test match. Bumrah and all have played enough 4 day cricket and trying them for an important tour like South Africa is important.

i think Selectors are following an accepted Strategy...on merit bumrah would have already got a break through in tests as currently burmah is india's no 1 pacer in odi and t20 but since he is not played , it means they have marked him for odi and t20 only....

i am sure of his success in tests as he is a dangerous bolwer but i guess they dont wanna play him in all formats

I haven't seen such a good death bowler for india since 1999, may be zak for a while.
keep him fresh and fit for limited overs at least till WC2019

Playing few test matches in a crucial tour to South Africa won't hurt him. It's not that Indian t20 specialists are sitting home and resting when there are not twenty20s. They all are playing for their state sides in Ranji trophy which is also a test match and last 4 days and puts about enough stress.

Exactly!!!! Playing in all three formats will suck all the energy out of him, might even get injured and go back to trundling, he is crucial if we had to win 2019 WC, at the moment let him enjoy the Lois, damn sure if he play all three formats along with the IPL the golden goose will be killed!!

 if bumrah wants to play tests he should be allowed to play. To keep him from playing tests because he is so valuable to ODIs and t20s is basically punishing him for being too good which is unfair.

Its exactly the opposite, making him play in all 3 formats along with IPL will be like punishing him, bowling genuinely fast is physically more demanding I don't think we should risk him in tests with that injury prone action of his, its also not like that we don't have  talents we can try tall left arm pacer aniket c or khejroliya or thakur or rajput or siraj.

 He is only 23 and has taken around 400 wickets already in his domestic and international career. That doesnt seem like the record of someone thats that injury prone though.

we can rest him dead rubber ODIs or T20Is.

Playing in domestics is bit different from internationals, less pressure and you can always chill in domestics,he is already down in pace from  champions trophy and sometimes looks fatigue, I am not against bumrah in test matches I can guarantee you his success but at the same time if we play him in all 3 formats and IPL it isn't going to end well for him.

Can someone explain why people think bumrahs action is injury prone? I can't see anything different other than the use of his non-bowling arm. How can we conclude that will put additional pressure on his back than a traditional high-arm bowler?

 

It is just a perception 

 

Akram is of the opinion that Bumrah's action is not injury prone and his body is used to his action from a young age

 

Bumrah has played lots of FC matches and has bowled loads of overs without any problem.

 Remember how he was rushed back in  dead rubber vs Australia??

 

We need to develop a couple of new LOI pacers who are dependable 

 

That will help us rest Bumrah in lower competition LOI series and dead rubber LOIs.

 

This will enable Bumrah to play tests outside Asia without being overworked.      : )
