Jasprit Bumrah on his multiple ICC honours for an incredible 2024 | ICC Awards An elated Jasprit Bumrah speaks on the privilege of being honoured with multiple ICC awards for his incredible 2024 🤩 #ICCAwards The 31-year-old, who was phenomenal with the ball during India's previous Test assignment in Australia, is eager to take on the challenge of playing in English conditions. 'Playing in England is always a different challenge, I always love bowling with the Dukes ball,' Bumrah said in a conversation with Michael Clarke on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. 'The weather, the swinging conditions sometimes, and then when the ball becomes soft, there's always a challenge. So I always look forward to playing in England.' The seasoned pacer added that in Ben Stokes' England side, a unique challenge awaits India. "They're playing an interesting style of cricket which is interesting because I don't really understand it too much. "But as a bowling unit, we always feel confident that when the batters are being ultra-aggressive, on a given day, anybody could run through and get wickets." India and England will kickstart the five-match series on 20 June with the first Test in Headingley. With cricket set to make a big return at the Summer Olympics, Bumrah also has his sights set on making an appearance at Los Angeles 2028. "Obviously, it is tough for any individual to keep playing everything for so long," he said. "I've been doing it for a while, but eventually you have to understand where your body is going, what is the important tournament. "You have to be a little selective and smart about how you use your body. As a cricketer, I would never want to leave anything and always keep on going. But I don't set goals or look at numbers. whenever I have [set goals], I've never been able to fulfil them. 'Yes, you have to be selective. Now I've heard there's Olympics in cricket coming as well. So that is something that I'm looking forward to. Who would've thought cricket will become an Olympic sport?'

After Zimbabwe had been bowled out for a modest total in the first innings, Miraz scored 104 off 162 balls to anchor the Bangladesh batting effort and help further their advantage.
