Waqar Younis Says Jasprit Bumrah Excels in White-Ball but Must Prove More in Tests
Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis praised Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional white-ball cricket skills but stated that Bumrah still has more to prove in Test cricket due to fewer matches played compared to peers like Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Despite Bumrah's impressive Test record, including 234 wickets at an average of 19.7 and being named ICC Test Cricketer of the Year 2024, Waqar emphasized the need for consistent performances over a longer period. Bumrah is expected to return for India's upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
