Irfan Pathan Backs Akash Deep As Bumrah’s Replacement For Second Test Against England
Irfan Pathan: As uncertainty looms over Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has thrown his weight behind Akash Deep as the ideal replacement.
With India keen on managing Bumrah’s workload across the five-match series, Pathan believes Akash Deep’s style could prove effective in English conditions.
“If Bumrah is not there, then who should come into the side in his place? Akash Deep, from what's been seen in the nets, seems to be getting into his rhythm. I feel that he is the Shami mould type of bowler,” Pathan said on his YouTube channel.
