India has finally created a speed pool that will allow them to turn the puppies and maintain the kind of performance they pulled away in Australia, bowling coach Bharat Arun has said.
Their face-to-face attacks were repelled by India before the Brisbane decision was made, but the injured tourists still made a big impact on Australia’s 2-1 series. after a lion’s heartfelt effort with their new mattresses.
Playing just his third test, Mohammed Siraj led their distance attack, which involved Shardul Thakur and Navdeep Saini, both of whom had played one test each, in addition to the T-debater Natarajan.
“We’ve been planning this over the last three years,” the former Arun test player told a video conference Friday.
“If you have to make India sustainable at the international level, you need a group of archers who would be rotated over and over again to stay fresh.
“Now we are blessed with great mountain strength. So it is heartening how these people came to the party.”
Pacers Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar missed the tour with injuries, which followed India’s attempt to retain the Border-Gavaskar cup.
Washington bowlers Sundar and Natarajan had test debates in Brisbane after the tour of Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah cut the trip short with injuries.
Arun said the new crop of archers has risen well, considering the workload ahead that includes nine test matches combined, at home and away, against England.
“I think it’s a very healthy move. It’s a shame for wealth,” the 58-year-old said.
“Now we have seven fast bowlers who are willing to play for the country,” he said. “If we have to give us the best performance, it will be very useful.”
Arun praised the young puppies but felt Shami and Ishant still had plenty to offer.
“I think they have enough cricket left in them. Their experience is unique, and they are still good enough to perform for India.
“They’ll all be surrounded and we’ll make sure we put the best team on the pitch.”
