“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 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,” told Jasprit Bumrah.
England series will be crucial for India and playing in the foreign conditions, Shubman Gill-led side will be hoping to make a solid start in the WTC cycle. Jasprit Bumrah also acknowledged the challenges of playing in England.
“Playing in England is always a different challenge. I always love bowling with the Duke ball, but I don’t know how much the Duke ball is doing right now 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. So, I always look forward to playing in England,” he said.
The first match of the test series will be played betweeen June 20 and 24 at Headingley.
