NEW DELHI: Legendary Australian pacer Glenn McGrath on Tuesday issued a cautionary note regarding Jasprit Bumrah's bowling action, emphasising the need for the Indian pace sensation to take an "off-season." McGrath highlighted the risk of potential injuries for Bumrah due to the extensive effort required by his bowling action.
Bumrah had endured a significant period on the sidelines after undergoing back surgery for a stress fracture in March 2023. Prior to this, he had been out of action since September 2022, missing both the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia and the IPL 2023.
