Jasprit Bumrah Likely to be in India’s Squad for Ireland Series: Confirms BCCI Secretary Jay Shah

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has confirmed that India’s pace bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is fit and is likely to be a part of the Indian team that will play 3 T20Is against Ireland. The speedster is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he is continuing his practice sessions to get match-fit.

Bumrah Underwent Surgery in March

Back in March, Bumrah underwent a successful back surgery and has not been part of competitive cricket since a T20I match at home against Australia in September. He had also missed out on the Asia Cup when his back injury surfaced. After that, he made a brief return to the Indian squad for the ODI series against New Zealand in January this year.

Bumrah’s Return to the NCA

The pacer has now returned to the NCA to further his rehabilitation process and build up his match fitness. He has been working hard to get back to his best and is likely to be included in the squad that will be announced this week for the Ireland tour.

India’s Tour of Ireland

The Indian team will tour Ireland for 3 T20Is on August 18, 20 and 23 this year. This will be India’s first tour of Ireland and the squad is expected to be a good mix of experienced and young players.

Conclusion

The return of Jasprit Bumrah is a welcome sign for Indian cricket and his presence in the squad for the Ireland tour will bolster the team’s chances of success. With the pacer looking to be in top form, India will be looking to make the most of this opportunity and put up a strong performance against Ireland.
