Irfan Pathan has provoked a new debate with his fast bowlers during the third Test at Lord’s, claiming that he received the match expenses against England. After India’s loss of 22 runs in England at Lord’s, Pathan criticized the Indian cricket team management for his overflow strategy, especially for Jasprit Bumrah.
While England captains Ben Stokes and Joffra Archer threw themselves into the battle of the Lord regardless of their workload and the history of injury, India was focusing more on the management of Bumrah’s overs than to seize the moment in the third test.

Pathan said, “His charge was managed, not played in Edgbaston. When you play a match, there is no charge. You have to win at all costs. The Indian camp could do better. Archer was playing a Test match after four years, but he used to think about running a six-over spell before stopping. Gay (Indian pacers were left behind).”
