#4 India need to groom youngsters
Be it Praveen Kumar, or RP Singh, or Vinay Kumar, or even Pankaj Singh, India have a long list of fast bowlers who could make it big at the international arena. Even though they promised a lot initially, they faded out due to inconsistency or fitness issues. This problem of not having a consistent pace attack pestered the Indians on many tours, especially the overseas tours.
However, India have managed to find a consistent pace attack in the last two years or so. The likes of Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have rekindled the hopes and are doing a decent job. But the pace battery needs to be sufficiently backed up. Giving chances to youngsters like Bumrah will not only expose them to red ball cricket but also make them ready for the future overseas tours. These youngsters need to be properly groomed so as to reap the benefits down the line.
