He is good, but he is way overhyped by the indians as he is the only good fast bowler they have had in years so for them he is wasim akram.
He takes a wicket, indians tend to go gaga and do over analysis of how he ran in, delivered his ball, bought his arm in, his stride, foot mark etc.
Back in 2021, indians overhyped shaheen after the world t20, and than after he sucked they realized that oh look shaheens head is not even straight when landing.
As for whether Bumrah would had made the Pakistani team. He would had made it but he would had been out of the team before playing 20 games.
Reason being we dont know how to strategize in Australia, we love to play injured bowlers till they are dead and Aqib Javed made a living changing bowling actions.
The first step is the bowling action stage. Aqib Javed is one of the pioneers of changing the bowling action of bowlers. Alot of our bowlers that got natural advantage due to their bowling actions had to change it because Aqib Javed would head the NCA and he would assume an injury scare would shortern the bowling career. So Bumrah would have had a bowling action change, lose his pace and swing and would had toiled in domestic cricket.
But lets assume if he somehow passed the Aqib Javed test, than the next stage was being bowled to the ground. Im not sure if it was wt2022 or wc 2023 when Bumrah was injured or rehab and India had to make the hard decision of resting him. They did so, he regained his health and is still bowling well. Meanwhile, Shaheen Afridi was half fit, but we still played him as we assumed he would destroy India and the guy just broke down like a truck and never recovered.
Thirdly, one single Australia tour with the Pakistani team was always enough to end a fast bowlers career. We tend to play in Australia without any strategy. Our tours are two or three games only, and by the 2nd game we learn what to do, the tour is over. We have had pacers like Abdur Rauf and Mohammad Sami that were good pacers, were better than Bumrah. But since we sucked and had no strategy in Australia, those bowlrrs never performed the way they should had and were discarded
So Bumrah might have played but would never have had a career here in pakistan
