Enjoying the country is a key factor for good performance, says Jasprit Bumrah

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah says meticulous planning before an overseas tour is not just confined to cricket for him, as he also likes to explore the country he visits.

"You look to enjoy the country, you look to see the place. That is how you get to know about the culture of the place and you eventually start enjoying the country. It then reflects on your performance as well," Bumrah, who will be available for selection from the second Test onwards, was quoted as saying by his T20 franchise Mumbai Indians.

"Whenever I go to a new country, I always plan in advance. Before visiting the country, I have a look at a few videos. What works over there. What the home team does over there. It is very important during long tours to enjoy the country and see places. So, that's the basic thing that I look to follow," he added.

He is determined to prove himself in the longest format as well. "Hopefully, whenever I play more, I'll be able to do well and gain more confidence. So that will reflect on other formats as well," he said.
