Coming down heavily on the Indian bowling attack in Australia, former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Saturday said that it’s time “we look for a fresh set of bowlers” in the Test ranks to ensure better showing in overseas conditions. The attack comprising Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin failed to pick 20 Australian wickets in all the four matches as the visitors conceded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by going down 2-0.
Gavaskar said that it’s time for change.
“This was the second that three out of the four bowlers were in Australia and for the second time they were taken to the cleaners as they were in 2011-12. So you really can’t keep them going despite the fact that they might bag wickets in a domestic series because overseas in the last three years they have done nothing. So like we have done with the batting, we have to look at a fresh set of bowlers and you will find them in domestic cricket,” Gavaskar told ‘NDTV’.
