Apart from being one of the best fast bowlers of India, he is also an inspiration for crores of people. Coaches and fellow players also never get tired of praising him. Ever since he has returned to the Indian team, he has been performing well for the team. He also displayed excellent bowling in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 and was also named Player of the Tournament for this.

Meanwhile, estranged Indian team bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has heaped praise on Bumrah and also revealed what makes the 30-year-old so special. ‘He is a once in a generation bowler’ He said in an interview with Vimal Kumar, I don’t think I had to do much with him.

I have said it before… he is a once in a generation bowler. India has produced great bowlers, there will be more, but Bumrah is a once in a generation bowler in all three formats. He said that whether it is Test, ODI or T20 International. He has extraordinary skills. He knows how to bowl well, his plans are clear. When I talk to him, I feel that his mindset is very clear and he knows what he is doing.
Former Pakistani cricketer accused PCB of protecting Babar Azam, said this big thing
Following Pakistan cricket team’s defeat in the T20 World Cup 2024, Babar’s captaincy has come under heavy criticism. Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Pakistan cricket team had a disappointing performance in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024. The Pakistani team was knocked out of the tournament after losing against the USA in the group stage. After this performance of the Pak team, it was criticized a lot in the cricket world. After this, the blame for Pakistan’s defeat started being put on Babar Azam. But now former cricketer Basit Ali has made a big allegation on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and said that it is protecting the team captain Babar Azam in the white ball format. He has also said that Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi are being targeted instead of Babar. Basit Ali made a big statement about Babar Azam Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan, Basit Ali said- A report is being prepared against Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan that they have formed a separate group, which is wrong. Do not put your faults on others, otherwise Pakistan cricket will be ruined. If you think Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch, then you should remove them completely. Don’t just blame the other two and make the third one a hero, it would be wrong. Ali further said- Everyone knows how Babar Azam has captained, not only in this tournament but also in the World Cup 2023. When you gave the last over to Mohammad Nawaz in Melbourne in the last T20 World Cup against India, did it not open your eyes. How would a player feel after being removed from captaincy after just five matches. Imagine how he must have felt. Let us tell you that fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of T20 cricket by the PCB for some time, but before the T20 World Cup 2024, the captaincy was once again handed over to Babar Azam.

Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”
