Imo this should be our attack for Australia tour 2028/29

Siraj, gurnoor and ashok

Back ups-harishit, prasidh, eden apple tom and deepesh devendran

Mayank might not play test cricket but hopefully am proven wrong

Dont think Bumrah is going to retire in 2027. He can still bowl 140 to 145 k spells whenever he wants. Expect him to play for 4 to 5 more years.

 

But Gurnoor would be a very nice addition to our test and ODI squads. He is looking the best among our Under 30 pacers. 

 

And Ashok can be tried in ODIs after a few months.

Yes, definitely not retiring in 27. he has atleast 5-6 yrs ahead of him. 

However, if things go well for Deepesh, I think he is the natural successor to Bumrah. The guy seems to have the hunger, and he has that X factor in him. But that is going to take about 2-3 yrs from now. 

I am a little sceptical about Gurnoor. He has all the ingredients. However, he doesn't come across as a destroyer like a 'Bumrah'. Also, I personally feel he hovers more around late 130's, than a natural 145+ bowler. Although, his bounce is a killer. He can be a great 2nd bowler. 

For now, Siraj will keep the mantle. I have hopes on Harshit, let's see what he does. 

Ashok has very high potentials, so does Eden. But I look at them more as a 1st change bowler, or the natural support to the strike bowler.

Having watched Gurnoor in both FC and 50 over matches this season, what stands out is his high % of 140 k+ balls and maintaining sufficient accuracy and steep bounce while doing this. 

 

Was averaging 142 kph in List A today .. but even in Ranji Trophy, while bowling his 4th spell of the day, he was crossing 141 kph regularly and not spraying the ball.

 

He is definitely better than both Harshit and Prasidh at maintaining 140 k+ speeds and accuracy. 

 

Only weaknesses is the half volleys he sometimes bowls with the new ball in an attempt to get swing and some down the leg balls. Otherwise he can bowl channel balls, stump directed balls, yorkers and nasty bumpers.

Siraj & Bumrah are just few months apart.

Once Bumrah retires, its just a matter of time when Siraj too is dropped away.

 

Harshit still has tools to succeed, he's intelligent and bowls to plan. Though his fitness can ditch him, but he can be a premier Test match bowler.

 

Prasidh, I have a hunch he will fade away. He is already close to 30, an year or two max. Same goes for Akashdeep, will remain in contention but will never graduate to a top tier.

 

That leaves us with imagination..Next gen pacers like Gurnoor, Ashok, Mayank, Eden Apple, Sushant...they need to own the opportunity. Even likes of Yudhvir & Simarjeet can serve as well.

For me, the more skilful pacers with pace are .... 

 

●  Bumrah 32 .. ATG

 

●  Harshit 24 .. playing for India and developing skills. Needs to play more FC cricket.

 

●  Gurnoor 25 .. very skilful for a newbie and gets steep bounce. 

●  Ashok 23 .. genuine wicket taker and express pace. 

●  Mayank 23 .. very accurare for an express pacer. Hope he develops fitness.

●  Simarjeet 28 .. why is he ignored totally ?

●  Eden 20 .. skilful for a 20 year old.

●  Deepesh 18 .. very skilful for a teenager and nasty bounce. 

 

Siraj has lost pace, Prasidh is too inaccurate, Akashdeep has lost pace too and Arshdeep never had pace.

 

Haven't watched Tarmale and Sushant bowl that much ... but will keep an eye on them. 

 

All the newbies must keep playing FCC and List A.

What I mean about Gurnoor is the natural successor to Bumrah. Bumrah is a destroyer of the opposition. Whatever little I have seen of Gurnoor, I do not see the same body language. 

I do see that in Deepesh. 

Obviously,  Gurnoor's height gives him that extra and that uncomfortable bounce. 

 

About Siraj, I don't think he has lost in quality. His pace has always been up and abouts. Also, I do not see Siraj quitting or not being given chances once Bumrah retires. Siraj seems to have atleast 2-3 yrs more than Bumrah in International cricket unless and until his performance dips down tremendously. I dont see that happening. 

 

Siraj, Gurnoor, Ashok, Deepesh, Harshit need to be in reckoning for the test team, no matter what. And I know there are loads more bowler with good pace, around.

Tarmale needs more time. He is a proper rookie.

Siraj is already declining.
