"You look to enjoy the country, you look to see the place. That is how you get to know about the culture of the place and you eventually start enjoying the country. It then reflects on your performance as well, Bumrah, who will be available for selection from the second Test onwards," was quoted as saying by his IPL franchise Mumbai Indians.

"Whenever I go to a new country, I always plan in advance. Before visiting the country, I have a look at a few videos. What works over there. What the home team does over there. It is very important for long tours to enjoy the country and see the places. So that's the basic thing that I look to follow," he said further.

"I always wanted to play Test cricket. I was happy when I finally got to play it in South Africa. The start also went well. I always loved Test cricket and I rate it very highly. 

"I enjoy playing each and every format but for me, Test cricket is at the paramount level because I feel everything is tested at that level."

"Hopefully, whenever I play more, I'll be able to do well and gain more confidence. So that will reflect on other formats as well. I don't have any personal goals. I take it one day at a time," he added.

I like this guy. 

More interested in cricket than  style marna.A quick learner too.

 

A bit like bhuvi when it comes to work ethics.

 

Hope he stays free of injuries.

This one was a freak fielding injury....not bowling related.

 

Hope bk also gets fit and gives us a few more yrs of good cricket.

Great to hear that even someone who broke through IPL ranks rates test cricket as the ultimate format. If all rising youngsters place such high importance to red ball cricket, it is good for the health of that format.

From this attitude, we can identify the guys who want to play for their country more than anything else.

Most will say the same. Health of the format does not depend on players but viewers.
