Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar does not know when he will return to competitive cricket. At the moment it cannot be decided whether surgery is needed to treat his sports hernia. The veteran fast bowler does not want to hold the National Cricket Academy (NCA) responsible for alleged lapses in its rehabilitation. However, he is surprised as to why his hernia was not detected earlier.

‘BCCI should talk to NCA’

Bhubaneswar said, ‘T20 World Cup still has 9 months’ time. I’m not thinking about it. First of all, I have to be fit and I do not know when I will be fit. On the role of NCA, the 29-year-old fast bowler said, ‘It depends on the BCCI how they take it. They should talk to NCA.

He said, ‘NCA must have tried its best, but I do not know what went wrong and why they could not find it. Still, I am not the right person to comment on this because maybe I can say something else and the BCCI came to some other conclusion.

Are players afraid of going to NCA ..?

Bhubaneswar of Meerut, who has played 21 Tests, 114 ODIs and 43 T20s for India, was asked if the players were afraid of going to the NCA, he said, “It is a personal wish of any player that he wants to go to NCA or No.’ On his recovery process, Bhubaneswar said that he is waiting to meet the doctor after which the need for surgery will be clearly known.

Bhubaneswar said, ‘Nothing is still decided about the surgery, but in the case of sports hernia, surgery is usually done. But despite this, you will have to see a doctor. I do not know what will happen after this, but we are trying to get it treated as soon as possible.

Bhuvi returned to T20 series this month

He said, ‘Until I get advice from the doctor, I cannot tell when I will return as it will depend on the treatment.’ Bhuvneshwar, who was out due to a hamstring injury after the West Indies tour, made his comeback in the T20 series against the same team this month but was again injured.

Bhubaneswar was asked if there was a direct fight between him and another injured fast bowler Deepak Chahar (suffering from a stress fracture) to make it to the T20 World Cup squad in Australia, he said, ‘When I am fit If it is, then it will depend on performance.
