NEW DELHI: Pakistan's interim head coach Aaqib Javed has played down the impact of India's leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah before their upcoming Champions Trophy encounter. The eight-team ICC tournament starts from February 19, with the opener between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi.
Questions surround Bumrah's availability for the tournament, with Aaqib expressing little concern about the bowler's potential presence in India's team for the February 23 match. Bumrah, who suffered back spasm during Border-gavaskar Trophy, is out of action since the Sydney Test.
