May be in the future if you get an opportunity (I will think about it)…” the 25-year-old said, keeping with the careful workload management that has been drawn out for him post the ICC Cricket World Cup.READ: Bumrah joins an elite clubCurrent Indian cricketers who play county cricket in EnglandRavichandran AshwinIshant SharmaCheteshwar PujaraAjinkya RahaneMurali VijayWatch: India's smiling pace assassin In India's recently concluded tour of the West Indies, the Ahmedabad-based pacer was rested for the limited overs tournaments.
