Batsmen do not attack against Bumrah in Test – Akhtar
Akhtar said, ‘You know that in Test cricket you have to bowl long spells. Batsmen don’t try to attack you. If the ball doesn’t seam you will have to struggle. When you start struggling, the team starts raising questions. I think he is a good enough fast bowler to take wickets in Test cricket. Akhtar also highlighted the challenges that Bumrah may face in Test cricket. He talked about Bumrah’s performance in the home series against New Zealand, which means increasing the pace could increase the risk of injury.
Bumrah should play in shorter formats
Akhtar said, ‘Although he did not perform anything special in the Test series against New Zealand, but this keeps happening. But if he wants to continue playing Test cricket, he will have to increase his pace. The increased speed increases the risk of injury. If I were Jasprit Bumrah, I would have played only the shorter formats. It just depends on how I feel.
