India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey reveals why he is 'very happy' with Mukesh Kumar

India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has heaped praises on Mukesh Kumar after the pacer made his debut across all formats in the ongoing West Indies series.

Mukesh Kumar was included in the West Indies series for all formats, the fast bowler has got his debut caps in all of them. He played one Test match, and then has played 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is so far.

And India's bowling coach Mhambrey has spoken highly of the bowler ahead of India's 4th T20I against West Indies. India are trailing the T20I series 1-2 and will be hoping to level the series on Saturday.

And speaking ahead of the match, Mhambrey depicted the satisfaction with the performances of Mukesh Kumar and the potential the Bengal bowler has to represent India consistently in all three formats.

"Very happy with the way he has progressed; the thought process, the discussion we had with him and his approach towards the game is fabulous," Mhambrey said on Mukesh Kumar.

And the Indian bowling coach not only revealed the reason for his happiness regarding the bowler, but praised Mukesh's ability to adapt in complete de novo conditions.

"You need someone like him to come here on a tour and play against tough opponents on a different wicket which is never easy. But the way he has gone about it and the character he has shown (makes us) extremely happy," he added.

He also said Mukesh's workload will be managed by the team management and they will try to integrate the player in his best-suited format. Kumar so far has picked up 8 wickets across all formats in this tour.

"Going forward, since we know he is capable of playing all three formats, we need to be smart with his workload management. He has played a lot of domestic cricket and got quality skills out there," the Indian bowling coach continued.

India have moved to the mainland United States and will play out the remaining two matches of the T20I series in Lauderhill, Florida.
