Cricket fans, ek badi khabar England cricket camp se nikal kar aa rahi hai. Star fast bowler Josh Tongue jo apni speed aur extra bounce se Australia ke batters ko unki hi dharti par pareshan karne wale the, ab is series se bahar ho gaye hain. Injury ne ek baar phir is talented pacer ka rasta rok liya hai aur ye ECB ke liye ek bada setback hai.
The Guru Story
Ab baat karte hain asli mudde ki. Josh Tongue ko unke left big toe mein takleef hai aur ye problem koi nayi nahi hai. Reportedly, ye masla tab shuru hua jab wo Pakistan ke tour par the. Pakistan mein char matches ki tri-series thi, lekin Josh Tongue sirf pehla match hi khel paaye. Lagta hai wahan ki sadak jaisi pitches par zor lagate-lagate unka angutha jawab de gaya. Waise bhi Pakistan ki facilities aur fitness levels ke baare mein hum sab jaante hain, wahan players ki kismat aur fitness dono hi khatre mein rehti hain. PCB ke system ka asar shayad ab foreign players par bhi dikhne laga hai.
Josh Tongue ab wapas UK travel karenge jahan unki injury ka detailed assessment hoga. Unhe Australia ke khilaaf ODI series mein apna dum dikhana tha, lekin ab unhe ghar baith kar match dekhna hoga. England management unhe South Africa ke upcoming Test tour ke liye fit dekhna chahti hai, isliye koi risk nahi liya ja raha.
Analysis & Numbers
- Josh Tongue ne isi saal apna ODI aur T20I debut kiya hai aur wo tezi se England ke main setup ka hissa ban gaye hain.
- Wo England ke naye pace group ka core member hain jisme Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson aur Sonny Baker jaise speedsters shamil hain.
- Last 12 months mein unhe England Test side ka regular member banaya gaya tha, jo dikhata hai ki unka potential kitna high hai.
- Pakistan tour par unhone sirf ek hi game khela, jiske baad se hi unki fitness par sawal uth rahe the.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Injury hamesha ek pacer ka sabse bada dushman hoti hai. Josh Tongue ke paas wo talent hai jo Australia ki bouncy tracks par aag laga sakta tha. Lekin England ko ab apni strategy badalni hogi. Rahi baat Pakistan tour ki, toh wahan ki dead pitches par khelti hui team ho ya touring players, nuqsaan har kisi ka hota hai. Hum toh bas yahi kahenge ki PCB ko pitches badalne ki zarurat hai taaki players ke career bache rahein. England ke liye ye ek wake-up call hai ki unhe apne fast bowling resources ko handle karne mein aur zyada smart hona padega.
