NEW DELHI: Mohammed Shami's absence coupled with pacers' underperformance in the first Test in Centurion, exposed chinks in the Indian pace bowling attack and former all-rounder Irfan Pathan wants the team to focus on building a bigger fast bowling pool in 2024.
While Shami's non-presence was felt badly, Jasprit Bumrah did not get the support from the likes of Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj in India's heavy defeat against South Africa last week.
