Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif has said that he is concerned about ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowling three overs with the new ball, especially with the T20 World Cup five months away. At the Asia Cup, the star pacer has mostly bowled three overs in the power play with one more at the death.

Kaif reiterated that having Bumrah bowl three successive overs in the powerplay during the Asia Cup may not be the best strategy.

Kaif warned that India might struggle to win next year’s T20 World Cup if they persist with the same approach.

“My concern is Jasprit Bumrah bowling three overs with the new ball. I had mentioned that and my problem is that as an Indian fan, I have been a cricketer, but as a fan, in the context of the T20 World Cup," Kaif said while speaking on his YouTube channel.
