Jasprit Bumrah has returned to India's Test squad after being rested for the recent ODI series against the West Indies at home, and he is expected to play a key role in the Test series. Earlier, Mohammed Shami suffers injury amid India comeback talks, misses Ranji match.
Southee pointed out that India have never won a Test against New Zealand when Jasprit Bumrah has played. Actually, Bumrah has played five Test matches against New Zealand and taken nine wickets. However, India have lost all five matches, making this a surprising record for one of the best fast bowlers.
New Zealand plays Jasprit Bumrah exceptionally well in Tests: Tim Southee
This will make the upcoming test series an important challenge for India. But the Shubman Gill-led Indian team will now look to change this record as they continue to fight for the 2027 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final berth.
Southee also praised Mohammed Siraj and believes the Indian fast bowler can be dangerous in New Zealand if he finds the right line and length. He was impressed by Siraj's energy, aggressive approach, and ability to keep running in and bowling with intensity throughout the day.
Southee signed off by saying, “I'm a big fan of Mohammed Siraj and the way he bowls. If he can get his length right in New Zealand, he could be a handful. The energy he brings, the way he runs all day, and the type of bowler he is—there's no reason why he can't have a lot of success in New Zealand conditions. There's a lot to like about him in particular.”
India to play 12 matches in New Zealand
The two-match Test series will start on November 19, and India will hope Bumrah and Siraj deliver their best to boost their WTC Final chances, having failed to reach last year.
