The decision was made in a bid to get the players geared up for the riveting Test schedule ahead for the Indian team, which comprises five matches at home across series against Bangladesh and New Zealand, followed by the Border-Gavaskar Test series in Australia in December. However, while all the top India players, along with fringe options and emerging talent were named for the Duleep Trophy, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah were rested, leaving former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar concerned. Taking to his social media handle on Wednesday, Manjrekar dropped eye-opening stats, highlighting Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah's appearances for India in international cricket. In the tweet, Manjrekar mentioned that India played close to 250 matches (242 since August 28, 2019) across formats in the last five years. And although Rohit (142) and Kohli (146) have been the busiest international players for India, it "only" amounts to 59 and 61 per cent of the total matches. Meanwhile for Bumrah (84), it is 34 per cent. Manjrekar felt that the trio could have been picked for the Duleep Trophy instead of being rested. "India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of those. Virat 61 % & Bumrah 34%. I see them as well rested India players. Could have been selected for the Duleep trophy," he tweeted.
