Varun Aaron, a former Indian bowler, has discussed Jasprit Bumrah‘s workload and anticipated involvement in India’s forthcoming series against Australia and the West Indies. At the moment, Bumrah is competing in the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
Aaron emphasised how crucial Bumrah is to every one of India’s forthcoming series, regardless of format. In addition, he forecast that Bumrah might only play one Test and be rested for an ODI in the upcoming ODI series (before the five-match T20I series) Down Under, despite India’s newfound emphasis on Test cricket.
“Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill, who is playing in his first home series as captain, probably don’t want to give even a quarter or an inch after the crushing we received against New Zealand. They take Test cricket quite seriously, in my opinion. India has accommodated Bumrah in many ways. You want him in every series if you are that involved in controlling someone’s workload.
They might also handle Bumrah’s workload in the Australian ODIs, in my opinion. Aaron said, “He might just play two,” according to ESPNcricinfo.
Kuldeep Yadav should be a key member of India’s Test team for the home series against the West Indies, according to the cricketer-turned-commentator. Kuldeep has been waiting for this opportunity in Test cricket for a long time, and Aaron believes he deserves it.
“The nicest thing about the Indian setup, which includes players like Axar, Jadeja, and Sundar, is that all three spinners can bat. They can have three spinners who can bat if they go that path, but I hope Kuldeep Yadav gets a game in this series. With the exception of Test cricket, Kuldeep Yadav has been playing well in every competition and has been waiting too long in the wings,” he continued.
On Sunday, September 28, India will play Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final. They have won all five of their continental tournament games ahead of their last Super Four meeting on September 26.
