The 'Sultan of Swing' added that the Indian players play cricket around the year.
At the same time, the 1992 World Cup winner further added that during his playing days, he used to play six months for Pakistan and six months for Lancashire. But due to time constraints, it becomes difficult in today's era.

The semi-final and final matches of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 have been postponed while the IPL 2020 that was supposed to get underway on March 29 with last year's finalists Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings locking horns at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in the tournament opener has been suspended indefinitely due to coronavirus fears.
Bumrah was all set to represent the four-time champions MI, where he was all set to spearhead the pace battery along with veteran Lasith Malinga as the defending champions, look to win their record fifth IPL title.
