You\u2019ve got Bumrah, who\u2019s a class bowler. Shami is world class as well. Siraj has been around for a long time and is very experienced. They bowl incredibly well, so you can\u2019t just expect to pick up straight where you left off,\u201d he said at the MRF Pace Foundation ground on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>McGrath, however, felt India\u2019s next-gen pacers were making encouraging progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019ve been doing okay. I\u2019m a big fan of Prasidh as well. It\u2019s always a big ask to fill the shoes of Shami and Bumrah, so it\u2019s always going to be a transitional period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McGrath reserved special praise for Prasidh, saying the tall seamer had matured significantly since he first saw him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom seeing him when he was here (MRF Pace Foundation) to then watching him play IPL cricket, he just seemed to mature &#8211; his pace and just the way he was bowling, the way he held himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s tall, bowls good areas, gets that bounce and that pace. It\u2019s the whole package, really. He\u2019s very much an enforcer when he bowls &#8211; just the way he went through the crease, the pace he was bowling at, the bounce, and the areas. Occasionally, he was a little bit short, but apart from that, he impressed me. He\u2019s really developed and put his potential into action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why Prasidh tends to bowl too short at times, McGrath said it could stem from his role as an enforcer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think his job is to be the enforcer and really unsettle batters. It worked for him a bit in the IPL. Maybe, he just went with it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jul 27, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/prasidh-krishna-india-white-ball-career-glenn-mcgrath-comments-mrf-pace-foundation\/article71273660.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia pace great Glenn McGrath believes India\u2019s white-ball pace attack is in the midst of a natural transition and backs Prasidh Krishna to emerge as a key figure, with Jasprit Bumrah managing his workload and Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj absent. \u201cIt\u2019s always going to be tough to just pick up where you left off&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":197848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1785168101_20260719276L.jpg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":198100,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=198100","url_meta":{"origin":197847,"position":0},"title":"Mohammed Shami&#8217;s India future: Have the selectors finally looked past the Bengal pace ace?","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"July 28, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"When India\u2019s squad for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka was announced on Tuesday, there was no surprise in Mohammed Shami\u2019s omission.
