Biography:

Bumrah has established himself as one of the world's premier fast bowlers, renowned for his ability to put the clamps on a batting attack in the dying stages of a game with his deadly in-swinging yorker.

He first made his mark in the IPL as a teenager, with some impressive showings that saw him called up to the Indian national T20 squad.

He made his debut against West Indies in 2016, and went on to claim the most wickets (28) in Twenty20 Internationals in one calendar year.

The following year, he made his test debut in South Africa where he recorded his first two five-wicket hauls.

Bumrah currently sits atop the ICC's world ranking for ODI bowlers and is sure to pose a huge threat to any batting line-up in England.
