Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has criticised the rumours surrounding Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Test cricket plans, and said that people should "verify their sources" before making claims as it can 'spoil players' 'limited career span". The chatter picked up pace after Kumar was not selected for India's Test tour of England and the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand. I really hope all people who spread rumors verify their sources because you don't want to spoil players' limited career span. The cricketer-turned commentator also expressed his sympathy for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, as the latter had to come up with a statement. So, I sympathize with Bhuvneshwar Kumar," added Chopra.
