How Australia's debutant McSweeney is planning for 'unique' Bumrah challenge

India Today  

Australia's uncapped opener Nathan McSweeney is already deep into his preparation for the formidable challenge in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy: facing India's premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. The series opener, set in Perth, marks McSweeney's anticipated debut, and the young right-hander is meticulously planning how to handle the pace attack led by Bumrah, whose unconventional action and pinpoint accuracy have earned him a stellar Test bowling average of 20.57, placing him amongst cricket's all-time greats. Acknowledging the difficulty of replicating Bumrah's distinctive action, McSweeney said, "He's one of the best bowlers in the world, so it's going to be hard to mimic that, that's for sure. With a recent standout showing in the Sheffield Shield, where he ranks fifth among leading scorers, McSweeney earned his Test call-up by making a significant impact in Australia A's series against India A.
