    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mumbai, July 19:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan feels fast-bowlers will have to be extra careful when they return to the field following the long enforced break, put forwarded by coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>International cricket recently returned with the ongoing #raisethebat Test series between England and West Indies after the sport was suspended in March in the wake of COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Irfan believes fast-bowlers must take a cautious approach initially as they take a bit more time to get back in rhythm as compared to batsmen or spinners for that matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;To be honest, I am really worried about the fast-bowlers. Going forward, they might need 4-6 weeks to get going themselves,&quot; Irfan said during Star Sports show Cricket Connected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a tough job and if you are bowling 140-150 kmph, running about 25 yards to bowl one ball at a time and then keep bowling for a few overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Your body gets stiff, injury management will be key as well because I think for any fast-bowler to get back into the rhythm, it takes at least 4-6 weeks, so I think fast bowlers will have to be a little more careful than the spinners or the batsmen,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England, meanwhile, seem to have followed the cautious approach that Irfan has been talking about as in their ongoing series against West Indies, they have shuffled around the bowlers quite a bit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first Test at Ageas Bowl, they opted for veteran pacer James Anderson while in the second Test at Old Trafford, they went with another experienced fast-bowler Stuart Broad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England&#39;s busy couple of months mean they will have to rotate around the players, especially fast-bowlers. Following the conclusion of West Indies series, England will lock horns against Pakistan in a series involving three Tests and as many T20Is starting August 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&quot;I&#39;m really worried for the fast bowlers.&quot; - <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IrfanPathan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@IrfanPathan<\/a><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTo find out what&#39;s gotten him worried, don&#39;t forget to catch him in conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jatinsapru?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jatinsapru<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Swannyg66?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Swannyg66<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CricketConnected?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CricketConnected<\/a> tonight. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6g9Q4AARgn\">pic.twitter.com\/6g9Q4AARgn<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StarSportsIndia\/status\/1284722215305400321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
