Lucky to get support from team management after injuries: Bhuvneshwar Kumar | Cricket News

HYDERABAD: It’s hard to come back after a long layoff from injuries, but the support of team management makes the job easier, says Bhuvneshwar Kumar, a middle right-arm runner who was recruited again into the ODI Indian team for the three-match series against South Africa that eventually had to be canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak in India.

Bhuvneshwar had suffered a groin injury, which was later diagnosed as a sports hernia, and was subsequently forced to miss the New Zealand tour earlier this year.

The 30-year-old man sank in London in January and then began his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) after returning to India.

The Meerut swing king was last seen in Indian colors in December last year in a T20I match against the West Indies in Mumbai.

“It is very difficult, especially with three formats now. It becomes difficult to return at the same pace you were in,” Bhuvneshwar said during an Instagram conversation with his captain David Warner of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday.

“In India, there is a lot of talent, so the competition is always there. It is more difficult to return but the support of the management and the team is always needed. I have what is good,” he added.

When asked by Warner about new SSR recruits, Bhuvneshwar chose Priyam Garg, who led India to the U-19 World Cup final, to receive special praise.

“Priyam Garg is a good talent. He was also captain of the U19 team.” On the Sunrisers’ ability to defend total lows, he said: “It comes from belief. We have done this on several occasions and that brought belief.”
