India vs Bangladesh Kanpur Test: India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is rapidly ramping up his workload in preparation for the challenging five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia, where he expects to bowl a significantly higher number of overs.

After the two-Test series against Bangladesh, India will host New Zealand for three games before departing for Australia. Indian pace bowler anticipates an increased workload during India's upcoming tour of Australia, scheduled to commence in November, where he expects to bowl more overs.

"You have to be smart (to stay fit for Australia) and it's good to get some overs under the belt here although the number of overs to be bowled will be a lot more in Australia," Bumrah told host broadcaster ahead of the fourth day's play.

"Weather is not in your control, it is the way it is. Good to get some time to relax. You've to quickly adjust to the changing conditions here after Chennai, quickly adapt and communicate with others, like about changing lines and lengths," said Bumrah.

The five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins in Perth on November 22. Bumrah relishes playing Test matches and is determined to give his best in the format.
