Irfan Pathan reckoned that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee should have given a chance to a young fast bowler for the upcoming Test series, instead of including Jasprit Bumrah in the squad.
Bumrah last played Test matches for India on the England tour, where he featured in three out of five games to manage his workload.
“It seems like a missed opportunity not to play a young fast bowler in these two Tests, but that’s the team’s current direction. If I were a selector or manager, I would have surely tried to give a young fast bowler an opportunity, focusing on their development, not just quick results. Bumrah remains committed to Test cricket, which is fantastic,” Pathan said.
Does this mean Kuldeep Yadav may miss out again? - Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan further lauded the selectors' call to recall Axar Patel to the Test squad after the spin-bowling all-rounder was unfairly dropped despite his sensational performances.
“Axar’s return strengthens the team. When Axar plays alongside Washington and Jadeja, the team gains batting depth. Does this mean Kuldeep Yadav may miss out again? I would definitely want to see him play, but with home conditions generally allowing only two fast bowlers, his spot is not guaranteed,” he said.
Who will fill that Ashwin role? - Irfan Pathan
“Who will fill that Ashwin role? Washington Sundar brings some qualities, but he does not have all of Ashwin’s traits… Jadeja supported Ashwin well, but now someone new must step up for that role. Could it be Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar, or even Axar Patel? Each offers something different,” he said.
