NEW DELHI: India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah made a return to national side on Friday after a long 11-month injury lay-off and former skipper Sourav Ganguly termed it as a welcome development.
Bumrah is currently leading a second-string Indian side against Ireland in a three-match T20I series at Dublin.
“I’ve spoken to some players at the NCA, and they said he’s at his best…Bumrah was bowling at almost 90 miles per hour the other day.That’s great news forIndian cricket,” Ganugly said on the sideline of a promotional event.Ganguly said India has a very good bowling unit going into the marquee ICC ODI World Cup later in the year.
“With Bumrah, (Mohammed) Shami, (Mohammed) Siraj, they have a fantastic attack to go with (Ravindra) Jadeja, Axar (Patel), Kuldeep (Yadav); they have enormous talent. How can that team be unsettled?” he stated.
“It’s just that they played new players in the West Indies and you will see that by the time the World Cup comes, and when they pick the team, it will be a top side. It’s about how you play during that tournament,” said Ganguly.
