Recovering from a hamstring injury and a side strain, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar assessed himself for a comeback when he participated in a “skill session” during Indian team’s practice.
The Indian team management seem to have taken charge of Bhuvneshwar’s final phase of rehabilitation.
His injury has been a concern for the Indian team since he came back from the West Indies after the limited overs series. He followed a rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy.
“Bhuvi is here for a skill session with the team. The team management just wants him to get into the groove,” a team source said about the pacer’s presence at the net session.
He had a catching session with fielding coach R Sridhar and then participated briefly in the net session. He bowled a few deliveries from full run-up but it was evident that he wasn’t going full tilt.
However Bhuvneshwar’s presence at the session is a welcome news considering that the 29-year-old is still an important member as far as India’s white ball cricket is concerned.
