Mumbai, April 27: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes the fit-again pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj will be lethal for England batters in the upcoming five-match Test series starting in June.

The series will kick off the new ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, with India entering it on the heels of their white-ball success from winning the Champions Trophy.

"I think with Siraj, Jasprit and Mohammed Shami, these three, if they are fully fit, they will give England heaps of problems. It's a quality, top-class pace attack when you get these three fit. And what I like about Siraj, I'm glad he was hurt after being put out, not in the side for the Champions Trophy. That's what you want."슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Shastri said on the ICC Review.

"For him to go back to the drawing board and come back the way he has, there's a spring in his stride, the pace is up there, and he means business game after game. And that is perfect from India's point of view with England coming up," he added.

In the ongoing IPL 2025, Bumrah has regained his rhythm and is leading Mumbai Indians pace attack. He missed the Champions Trophy due to a back injury that limited his presence in the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney.

Shastri did, however, emphasise the need for India to manage Bumrah슬롯사이트s workload during the tour of England. "I would be very, very careful (with Bumrah). I would give him two Test matches at a time and then wait for the break," he said.

"Ideally, make him play four. You'll be tempted to make him play five if he starts off in a great manner, but it's how his body pulls up. He should be given the first opportunity to say, 슬롯사이트Yes, a little, (I am) feeling the niggle. A break would help.슬롯사이트� Give him that break," Shastri added.

Shami made his return to international cricket for India just before the Champions Trophy, after a lengthy period on the sidelines since the 2023 ODI World Cup Final due to a knee injury. His absence was especially felt during the Border-Gavaskar series, where India struggled without a second senior pacer to support Bumrah with the workload.

In fact, Shami has not played red-ball cricket for India since the 2023 ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia.

"You'll have to see how he's bowling in the nets, but I think there's enough experience there for him to start off,슬롯사이트� Shastri said on Shami. "The fact that he puts his hand up and says, 슬롯사이트I'm available for that first Test match슬롯사이트� means he knows his fitness levels. He's a workhorse. I've known Shami for a long time. If he puts his mind to it, he'll get there. And the fact that there's Siraj and there's Jasprit doing as well as they are, that is just the motivation he needs to step up and get to that level."
