Legendary Sachin Tendulkar says that India captain Virat Kohli will have at his disposal India’s “most complete fast bowling attack in many years” on their tour of England.
India have not named their Test squad for the five-match series starting August 1 at Edgbaston but with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvenshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma available, Tendulkar is excited about the well-balanced attack that could head to the UK.
“This is the most complete fast bowling attack that India have had in many, many years,” Tendulkar said.
“In my assessment, this attack would go as one of the best.
“We have the luxury where we have a swing bowler (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), a tall bowler (Ishant Sharma), a skiddy bowler (Jasprit Bumrah) and a genuine quick bowler (Umesh Yadav).
India’s tour of the UK starts tonight in Dublin with a T20 international against Ireland.
