Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Australian opener McSweeney braces for "unique" Bumrah challenge

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Australian opener McSweeney braces for "unique" Bumrah challenge

The Hindu
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 5:54 AM GMT

Australia opener Nathan McSweeney prepares to face Jasprit Bumrah in debut series against India, aiming to replicate his form.

Australia opener Nathan McSweeney, who is set to debut against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, said he has been preparing for the "unique" challenge of facing star pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

McSweeney was drafted into the Australia squad after a slew of impressive performances in the Sheffield Shield tournament and in the recent ‘A’ series against India.

The 25-year-old South Australian will partner Usman Khawaja at the top in the series opener in Perth and during the upcoming five-Test series.

“There’s probably not (much I can do to replicate how Bumrah bowls). Obviously, he’s got a unique action. He’s one of the best bowlers in the world.”

"So, it's going to be hard to mimic that. I'm just looking forward to all of that and I can't wait," McSweeney told SEN.

McSweeney, who captained Australia A side in the 2-0 series win against India A, said he has been watching the bowling clips of Indian quicks including Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj to be mentally ready for the task.
