India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has confirmed that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is expected to feature in the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. The two-match series is scheduled to begin on October 2 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
### Match Preparation: Bumrah Set to Feature in WI Tests
Speaking ahead of India’s clash against Bangladesh, ten Doeschate stated, “It’s unlikely that Bumrah will be rested. He’s set to play the West Indies Tests. We’ve got important matches coming up, and it’s good for him to keep playing and get more match time.” Emphasizing the importance of match practice, the assistant coach reiterated that Bumrah’s participation is crucial despite India’s unbeaten run in the Asia Cup.
### Performance Review: Areas for Improvement
India recently secured a six-wicket win against Pakistan in their first Super Four clash of the Asia Cup. However, ten Doeschate admitted the team’s performance was “a bit scrappy against Pakistan. We weren’t clinical enough. The last week has been tough, but the way the boys played in those two games was amazing.” He also shed light on India’s squad rotation strategy, explaining how the team experimented by giving opportunities to various players during the Asia Cup and bilateral series.
### Workload Management: Bumrah’s Playing Time
Bumrah’s workload has been a topic of discussion since the England tour, where he played only three of the five Tests to manage his fitness. However, since the Asia Cup followed the T20 format, workload concerns have been less significant. The pacer was impressive against UAE and Pakistan before missing the Oman game. Although he conceded 45 runs in four overs against Pakistan during the Super Four stage, Bumrah is expected to be an integral part of the squad for the upcoming West Indies Tests.
### Did You Know?
Jasprit Bumrah last played a Test against the West Indies during India’s 2019 tour, where he delivered career-best bowling figures of 6/27. Notably, he made history by taking a remarkable hat-trick in the 2nd Test of that series.
India fans will be eager to see Bumrah back in full force as the team gears up for the home Test series against the West Indies.
