“Playing in England is always a different challenge”: Jasprit Bumrah ahead of England Tests
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is preparing for a five-match Test series against England, beginning June 20. Bumrah, who has been in impressive form in the ongoing IPL, is eager to face one of cricket's most formidable challenges.
“Playing in England is always a different challenge; I always love bowling with the Dukes ball. The weather, the swinging conditions sometimes, and then when the ball becomes soft, there's always a challenge. So I always look forward to playing in England,” Bumrah said in a conversation with Michael Clarke on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast.
Bumrah felt that England are playing an interesting style of cricket but emphasised that their ultra-aggressive cricket creates wicket-taking opportunities for opponents.
“Obviously they're playing an interesting style of cricket, which is an interesting one because I don't really understand it too much. But as a bowling unit, we always feel confident that when the batters are being ultra aggressive on a given day, anybody could run through and, get wickets.”
Bumrah also talked about playing all three formats.
“It’ s tough for any individual to keep playing everything for so long. I've been doing it for a while, but then eventually you have to understand where your body is going at, what is the important tournament. So you have to be a little selective, and you have to be a little smart about how you use your body. As a cricketer, I would never want to leave anything and always keep on going."
"At this moment, yes, I'm OK, but I don't set goals. I look at it one day at a time. The journey is going good so far. The day I realized that the drive is gone or the effort is not there and my body is not holding up, that is a decision when you take your time. But right now I'm ok,” he said.
