While speaking on his YouTube channel De Villiers supported the selectors approach towards Bumrahs workload management. Great to see him in the squad fit and ready to go. I dont think he will play all the games said de Villiers. I saw reports saying he will be earmarked for the games that matter and I love that about the selectors being proactive. Thats how you should be managing your senior and most impactful players.

Its not like they are picking and choosing. Theres just so much cricket these days. For your older guys their work has taken its toll over the years. Once you start managing these players you will get the best out of them and i love it that theyve started doing that with Jasprit Bumrah he added De Villiers also showered praise on left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav and said he is intelligent and very bold.
