But we had him just before his serious injury, and he was At the time, he was probably one of the best bowlers in the world, I don't think there has been any change in that, I think it naturally takes a little bit of support and a little bit of game time to take that rust off and then naturally Roop will get a wicket, "At least he has something to work with in the help," said the right-handed batsman.
