He slammed the BCCI and said “There’s something wrong with the cricket board there”, the board has to understand how much a player should play
Kapil Dev Said:
“What happened to Bumrah? He started working with so much belief, but if he’s not there (in the World Cup semi-final/final)… we wasted time on him. Rishabh Pant… such a great cricketer. Had he been there, our Test cricket would’ve been better,” Kapil said.

“God is kind, it’s not as if I never got injured. But today, they are playing 10 months in a year. Give a benefit of doubt to that, but everybody has to look after themselves. IPL is a great thing but IPL can spoil you also. Because of a little bit of injuries you will play in IPL. A little bit of injuries, you won’t play for India. You would take a break. I’m being very open about it,”.
“If you have a small injury, you would play in IPL if it’s an important game. At this stage, cricket board has to understand how much cricket they should play. That is the bottom line. If today, you have resources, money, but you don’t have three or five-year calendars. There’s something wrong with cricket board there,” he said.
