The former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief made the statement on an Indian sports channel. He said Jasprit Bumrah’s return will make a difference for the side.  

“It’s a very strong team. Bumrah is back, which makes the team even stronger,” the former batter said. “The bowling attack is very good – Shami, Bumrah, Siraj. You can’t get a better fast bowling attack.”

Nobody fears Shami and Siraj. England would take them both for 10 an over.

It is pertinent to mention that the trio are part of India’s squad for the Asia Cup 2023. They will also feature in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup at home.
