Tom Moody: To me, Bumrah and Shami are high-quality new ball bowlers

Two-time champions India have finally furnished its squad for the upcoming edition of the ICC World Cup. Hosts India led by skipper Rohit Sharma are warming up for the ODI World Cup in the ongoing Asia Cup. A day after India punched its tickets for the Super stage in Sri Lanka, chief selector Ajit Agarkar revealed India’s 15-man squad for the World Cup.

Reflecting on India’s announcement for the ICC event, ex-AUS cricketer Tom Moody observed that the fitness of pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will be key for India at the grandest stage of them all.

Tom Moody said –

“I think a lot of it depends on the fitness and longevity of Bumrah. I think he holds such an important key for India because he has such high quality and impacts the game early and also closes the innings.

“And I see that it’s basically going to be a difficult World Cup with regards to making sure that you keep your bowlers fit. It’s a long campaign, but India certainly have got the diversity in their side. It’s just the case of them making sure they have their key players fit, particularly their bowlers.

Tom Moody concluded – “Yes, I think they have a side that’s good enough to win the World Cup. I think home advantage will be a big one for India, but I bring that point around the fitness. The fitness of Bumrah and Shami is absolutely key to me as both of them are high-quality new ball bowlers.”
