Bumrah is going to be the main senior player for the Indian team in the upcoming tour of England after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma bid farewell to Test Cricket.
The Indian bowling coach, Morne Morkel, is happy with the Jasprit Bumrah rhythm during the practice sessions and already mentioned that the management is going to take a close look at his fitness and if needed, he can rest in one of the test matches.
Morkel on Bumrah Fitness
“Bumrah knows how to get himself ready, he knows how to prepare,” Morkel said on Wednesday. “I was blown away to see the energy on the ball the last three days. That’s very exciting to see. I’m happy his body is in good shape at the moment.
“We’ll manage him with that. We’ll be smart with him because he’s obviously key for us, but in terms of the first three net sessions, lot to be excited watching him bowl with the Dukes ball.” Said By Morkel
During the last tour of Australia, Bumrah had to leave the field due to a fitness issue, as he bowled in all five matches, and in total, he bowled 151.2 overs, which is the most he has bowled in any series. However, India might give Arshdeep Singh his debut cap in the first match against England, and he can be a lethal bowler for India in English conditions, where swing bowlers do get the movement.
Shardul Thakur did not have a great outing in the practice match, which increased the chances for Nitish Kumar Reddy to secure the place. Additionally, his performance during the Australian tour has solidified his position; however, he still needs to perform more consistently with the bowling.
The more bowling options we can have, that’s great. He’s skillful. He’s a guy that can bowl that magical ball, so for him it’s about creating that consistency, it’s something we want to work on, it’s important for his game as well.
“I’ve had conversations with him where I’ve challenged him to bowl a bit more, and I want to see the ball more in his hands. We all know what he can do with the bat. But for a team, if you can have those bowling options, especially in these conditions, I think he’ll be one to be excited and compliment his bowling attack.” Said Morne
