Cricket Australia Rewards Jasprit Bumrah, Makes Him Captain Of Test Team Of 2024

Indian pacer spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been named as the captain of Cricket Australia's Test Team Of 2024.

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is currently the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The latter has picked up 30 wickets from four games at an average of under 13 and will be looking to repeat the same performance in the final match of the series set to begin from January 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. However, the Indian team is currently trailing in the five-match series by 2-1 and hasn’t received any assistance from the other Indian bowlers. The Indian pace spearhead has been only putting pressure from his end which has troubled the Australian batters.
