Vaughan feels England could modify their batting order to deal with Bumrah's threat.
India will be travelling to England for a five-match Test series next year. The tour is scheduled to start on June 20, and is expected to be an action-packed thriller.
While the series is still seven months away, former cricketer Michael Vaughan has come up with a plan for England to deal with Jasprit Bumrah's threat.
Vaughan has asked the Three Lions to tweak their batting order. He wants Ben Stokes to move to No. 3 to negate Bumrah's impact.
"I think that simple swap is perfect for the year England have coming up. In one Test in Australia, I’ve seen live why England need another left-hander in the top three. Jasprit Bumrah fizzily arcs the ball into the right-hander’s pads with the brand new ball, and caused absolute carnage for the likes of Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Left-handers are better suited to facing Bumrah," Vaughan wrote in his column for The Telegraph.
"It would be handy to have Stokes at No 3 in Australia, too, because the extra left-hander might tempt Australia to use Nathan Lyon earlier, which in turn means the quicks are not bowling in the short window that the ball swings," he added.
Jasprit Bumrah has been extremely lethal ever since his comeback to the Indian team after recovering from the back injury. He recently scripted India’s historic win in the Perth Test with an eight-wicket haul in the match.
Earlier this year, Bumrah played a key role in India’s 4-1 Test series win over England at home. The ace pacer claimed 19 wickets in the five-match series at an average of 16.89, including one five-wicket haul.
