Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly has expressed faith in Jasprit Bumrah who recently returned to the India team as he hoped that all players of team India will be in good form during the World Cup .
BCCI on Monday announced a strong 17-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 which will begin on August 30 with Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul returning to the squad and Tilak Verma also getting a place in the team.
Ganguly said that Bumrah is bowling quick and hitting the bat hard in the nets.
“He bowled well [on his comeback] and obviously the opposition is going to be different. But it’s his first tour after a long time and he’s just been eased in. I’m looking forward to the Asia Cup; he’s been bowling quick and players in the nets have been telling that he’s hitting the bat hard. I saw him bowling in Ireland and he bowled good pace,” he added.
