Australian opener Nathan McSweeney, who is going to make his Test debut through Jasprit Bumrah in BGT, said that he is ready to face the unique challenge from star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. McSweeney got a place in the Australia team after good performances in the Sheffield Shield tournament and the recent A series against India. 25-year-old McSweeney of South Australia will open the innings with Usman Khawaja in the Perth Test starting on November 22.
McSweeney told the media that Bumrah’s action is unique. He is one of the best bowlers in the world. It is difficult to copy his action. I am looking forward to facing him. McSweeney, who captained Australia A in their 2-0 win over India A, said he is mentally preparing by watching videos of the bowling of Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
He said, I have watched clips of his bowling and I am mentally preparing myself to face him. Facing a new bowler is a bit challenging and one cannot prepare for it just by watching the action. McSweeney said, I have been batting well for the last one month and my preparation is solid. Hopefully I can maintain this rhythm. I still have a lot to learn and am looking forward to learning about the challenges of Test cricket.
