Jasprit Bumrah gives fitting reply to Aqib Javed's 'bowling action' remark

There is not a perfect action in cricket - Bumrah

Answering to former Pakistan pacer Aqib Javed’s remarks on his unusual bowling action, Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah stated that he doesn’t need to pay attention to other’s opinions. He asserted that he is comfortable with what he has been doing and will stick to the same.

“I don't focus on what the experts are saying or not. I focus on what has helped me and I try to focus on my body and what do I need to keep myself fit. There is not a perfect action in cricket, tell me a bowler, like that, who has not got injured. I focus on how to improve my fitness level,” said Bumrah.

When asked about upcoming India’s tour of Australia, the death overs specialist said it would not be prudent to comment without having a look at the conditions.

“When I reach Australia, I will assess the wickets. Because sometimes going there with pre-conceived notions and then it doesn't happen, so you are in no space. I'll go there, see the conditions and plan according to that,” he said.

Bumrah also lauded India's bowling coach Bharat Arun, saying the communication with him has been helpful so far.

“You discuss plans with your bowling coach. That communication has been good. I had done one U-19 camp under him and he knows my bowling. It is always good when you have an experienced coach, who knows your strengths and weaknesses,” said Bumrah.

The pacer has been rested for the first two One-Day Internationals against the West Indies and he is not complaining.

“It is always good to have a break. Whenever you return from the break, the hunger is back, the body is fresh, you are up and running in good spirit,” he said.
