Former Indian versatile Irfan Pathan said Jasprit Bumrah is playing on a test series of two matches for Team India to adjust the young fast pitch. Bumrah was appointed in the Indian 15-member group and will play both test matches against West Indies.
Bumrah played three out of five tests in England and missed two, of which both India ended in victory. Since Speedster is set to play both tests against West IndiesPathan pointed out that it could be a missed opportunity for team leadership, because it was a great opportunity to treat the young fast Bolwer.
“It looks like a young fast pitch in these two tests, but that is the current team direction. If I were a selector or manager, I would definitely try to give the young quick pitch and focus on their development, not just fast results.
In addition, Pathan appreciated Bumhrah for prioritizing the test cricket, but mentioned that India had a long -term groom group of eight fast pitches
“Nevertheless, it is good that Bumrah maintains a test cricket as his priority. Selectors could use this series to properly rest Bumhrah and groom to the young quick pitch, something India must prefer for long -term vision.
In addition to Bumhrah, a selection committee named Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and All Rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy as three other sailors.
Kuldeep Yadav to miss playing XI?
Meanwhile, Pathan also said that Kuldeep Yadav could be considered difficult to get into playing XI with the return of Axar patel in tests.
“Axar’s return is strengthened by the team. When Axar plays alongside Washington and Jadeja, the team gets the depth of the launch. It means that Kuldeep Yadav may miss again?
Kuldeep was also part of the Indian Group in ReviewT five-match test series in England, but could not appear in a single match. Meanwhile, India and West Indies will lock the corners in a series of two matches starting on October 2. The first test will be played at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad, while the second test will be played from 10 to 14 October on ARUN Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
It will be the first Indian home test task after their 0-3 Whitewash against New Zealand in October-List November 2024. Captain SHUBMAN GILL, who will lead the team at home for the first time, will eagerly restore Indian dominance.
