There has been a lot of expert analysis and opinions from around the world as India announced their squad for the upcoming World Cup. One of the latest views came from former Australia cricketer Tom Moody, who suggests that the Men in Blue will heavily rely on two bowlers during the quadrennial extravaganza.

India chose four seamers, including Bumrah, Siraj, Shami, and Thakur, to handle the challenging bowling conditions of the Indian subcontinent. Bumrah will be closely watched as he returns from a long injury break.
"I think a lot of it depends on the fitness and longevity of Bumrah. I think he holds such an important key for India because he has such high quality that impacts the game early and also closes the innings," said Tom Moody
"And I see that it's basically going to be a difficult World Cup with regards to making sure that you keep your bowlers fit. It’s a long campaign, but India certainly has got diversity on their side. It’s just the case of them making sure they have their key players fit, particularly their bowlers," added Moody
"Yes, I think they have a side that’s good enough to win the World Cup. I think home advantage will be a big one for India, but I bring that point around fitness. The fitness of Bumrah and Shami is absolutely key to me as both of them are high-quality new ball bowlers," concluded the former Australian player turned coach and commentator.
