Jasprit Bumrah’s Recovery and Return to the Indian Cricket Team

With only twelve ODIs left until the World Cup 2023, there is yet to be any sign of Jasprit Bumrah playing a match. The premier pacer is currently in the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, recovering from a lower back stress fracture surgery. He is set to miss the India vs West Indies ODI series and is expected to return for the India vs Ireland T20 series. However, India’s team captain Rohit Sharma is uncertain about this.

Rohit Sharma Asks for Patience with Bumrah

Ahead of the India vs West Indies first ODI, Rohit Sharma asked for patience with Bumrah. He voiced his concerns about the pacer’s recovery, saying he is unsure whether Bumrah will be travelling to Ireland.

Bumrah’s Injury Layoff

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since July 2022, when he was touring with England. He came back and bowled six overs prior to the T20 World Cup, but it did not go as planned. This rushed return in September caused both India and Bumrah to suffer. He had to go through surgery in New Zealand and missed out on a lot of action due to his back injury resurfacing.

Bumrah’s Progress at the NCA

At the National Cricket Academy, Bumrah has begun to bowl seven to eight overs daily. The selectors are hopeful that he will be able to play in the India vs Ireland T20s. However, they want to make sure he is in peak physical condition before allowing him to return to the team.

Conclusion

Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the Indian Cricket Team is an exciting prospect. However, the selectors and team captain are taking all the necessary precautions to ensure his recovery and return is successful. With only twelve ODIs left until the World Cup 2023, the team will be eager to have Bumrah back on the field.
