Jasprit Bumrah Set to Return for Ireland Series
Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has not played since the T20I series against Australia in September of last year, but is likely to make a comeback in the three T20Is against Ireland in August. The seamer has been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) since having back surgery in March, and is now on the path to peak fitness.
India Prepares for Asia Cup and World Cup
The Ireland series will provide Bumrah with some much-needed playing time before two major white-ball competitions. India will compete in the Asia Cup in September, followed by the 50-over World Cup at home in October and November. According to a senior board official monitoring the seamer’s recovery, the signs are looking positive for his return.
Conclusion
Jasprit Bumrah appears to be on track for a return in the Ireland series in August, providing him with an opportunity to re-acclimatise before the Asia Cup and World Cup. With the seamer making good progress in his rehabilitation, he could be at the peak of his fitness when he dons the blues.
