'Stick to shorter formats': Jasprit Bumrah was indirectly told to quit Test cricket by Pakistan great Shoaib Akhtar

Shoaib Akhtar spoke about Jasprit Bumrah's status in Test cricket and expressed concerns about his long-term prospects in the long run, stating that he will have to find a little extra pace to remain competitive with the red ball.

Despite an incredible average that currently stands at 20.01 in Test cricket, and a string of performances throughout his career that have already made the 31-year-old a star across all formats, Akhtar felt that a decision to retire from Test cricket would could be on the horizon.

Speaking The Nakash Khan Show podcast, the former Pakistan pacer gave his verdict: Very good fast bowler for shorter formats and one-day matches because he understands the length. I think he does great in death overs, in powerplay and he can swing the ball both ways.

But you know, in Test cricket you have to bowl longer spells. You need speed because the batters are not trying to hit you, Akhtar continued. Length becomes irrelevant. You struggle when the ball doesn't seam or turn, along with that lack of pace. When you start to struggle, people start asking questions.

If he wants to continue playing Test cricket

Currently playing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah currently has 185 Test wickets in 42 Test matches, and only one other player has more Test wickets at a better average than the Indian Seamer. Akhtar noted that Bumrah is capable of being a top-quality seamer, but also pointed out that his struggles with fitness could prevent him from having a long career in Test cricket.

I think he is good enough to take wickets in Test cricket. Although he didn't do much in the Test series against New Zealand, it does happen, Akhtar said. But if he wants to continue playing Test cricket, he needs to pick up the pace. The increasingly rapid injection puts him at great risk of injury. If I were him, I would have stuck with shorter formats.

It just depends on how I feel. If I feel good, okay, I'll go there, bend my back, make sure I take wickets for the team in Test matches. That's fine with me, but he has to take care of himself because he wants to play the IPL, he wants to play ODIs, he wants to play Test matches too, Akhtar said.

However, the Pakistani pacer concluded his segment on Bumrah with a hint of optimism about his status in the sport. He is a great asset to the cricketing world and we must ensure that we do not destroy him by taking better care of him, Akhtar concluded.
