Asia Cup 2023: Top 5 issues Indian team management need to sort out ahead of the prestigious event
#5. Who will be the top pacers?
As India gears up for the Asia Cup 2023, a crucial consideration arises concerning Jasprit Bumrah’s readiness and availability. Returning from an extensive 11-month injury, Bumrah’s match fitness and form should be handled carefully. Using him for all nine league matches in the World Cup might prove risky, given his potential rustiness.
To solve this issue, India will need to prepare hard and rely on pacers like Mohammed Shami, Mohammad Siraj, and Shardul Thakur. The team will also want all-rounder Hardik Pandya to bowl at least 5 overs per match to support the combinations. It will be very important for team management and selectors to solve this issue, as Bumrah is a crucial asset for India.
