Bhuvneshwar Kumar will struggle in Australia, says Wasim Akram

Legendary Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram feels that ace Indian bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar will struggle Down Under in the T20 World Cup 2022.

Akram though praised the 32-year-old bowler's skill with a new ball, but raised questions about Bhuvi's pace.

While speaking to Khaleej Times, Akram said, 'He is good with the new ball but with his pace, if the ball is not swinging he will probably struggle there, he is a very good bowler no doubt, swings both ways, has the yorker, but you need pace in Australia.'

With 35 wickets in 26 innings, the prolific seamer has been the leading wicket-taker for Team India post the T20 World Cup 2021 debacle.

He, however, will be under tremendous pressure in the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out of the marquee event due to a back injury.
