Bharat Arun, India’s former bowling coach, believes the new bowling line-up should trust their rhythm and adapt quickly to the conditions on offer during the five-match Test series in England to generate swing with the Dukes ball in hand. 

Jasprit Bumrah is there to lead India’s fast-bowling charge, but he would not be playing all five Tests due to workload management. Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and all-rounder Shardul Thakur are the only fast bowlers who have played Tests in England, with Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep having some prior experience from the spin bowling department.

Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, along with off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar will be experiencing playing Tests in England for the first time when the series runs from June 20 to August 4. “India’s new attack in England must trust their rhythm and adapt quickly to swing. For a bowler, small adjustments and honest teamwork are key.
