Jasprit Bumrah looking forward to playing In England, says it would be a different challenge

India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is looking forward to the upcoming England tour, where the visitors would play five Test matches. Bumrah will lead India’s pace attack and there is no doubt that he is going to hold the key in English conditions.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar has already revealed that Bumrah won’t be available for selection in all five Test matches. The ace pacer was brilliant on the tour of Australia, where he picked 32 wickets in five Test matches at a stunning average of 13.06.

Bumrah had scalped 18 wickets in four Test matches on England tour in 2021 at an average of 20.83.

“You know, playing in England is always a different challenge,” Bumrah told Michael Clarke in the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast.

“I always love bowling with the Duke ball, but I don’t know how much is the Duke ball doing right now. Yeah, because there’s always constant changes to the ball and I’m not too sure how it is, but the weather, the swinging condition sometimes and then when the ball becomes soft, you know, there’s always a challenge,” he added.

“So I always look forward to playing in England, obviously playing an interesting style of cricket, which is an interesting one because I don’t really understand it too much,” Bumrah said.

“But as a bowling unit, you know, we always feel confident that when the batters are being ultra aggressive on a given day, anybody could run through and you know, get wickets,” he added.

After his stellar performances in 2024, Bumrah was awarded with the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year and the Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year.

The opening Test match between India and England will be played at Leeds, Headingley, from June 20 onwards.
