Overview

  • Ravi Shastri has urged the Indian team management to rotate Jasprit Bumrah during the England Test series, advising breaks after every two matches to avoid overexertion.
  • Bumrah, who recently returned to form in the IPL following a back injury, is expected to play a key role in the five-match series starting June 20 at Headingley, Leeds.
  • Shastri emphasized the collective threat posed by a fully fit pace trio of Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, predicting challenges for England's batting lineup.
  • Mohammed Siraj's strong IPL performances for Gujarat Titans have been highlighted as evidence of his resurgence after being excluded from India's Champions Trophy squad.
  • Shami, described by Shastri as a 'workhorse,' is seen as pivotal for India's bowling attack, having recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him during recent tournaments.
