Indian speedster Jaspirt Bumrah, who has been out of action since September 2022, is set to comeback next month. He is most likely to appear for India for their tour to Ireland in August for a 3-match T20 series. The Men in Blue will play their matches on 18, 20 and 23 August and Bumrah will get a good warm up before the major events begin.
India will be eyeing success in Asia Cup 2023 followed by the ICC Cricket World Cup at home soil. Bumrah’s presence holds special significance for India in both tournaments. Last year after he sustained a Back injury in the Asia Cup’s T20 format, he was unfortunately ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2022, next month in Australia.
His absence was felt by India during semi-finale clash against England as Alex Hales and Jos Buttler stormed their way through to a 10-wicket victory. Rahul Dravid’s men will look forward to avoid any such humiliation in the WC this year and for that, fitness and rhythm of Jasprit Bumrah becomes very crucial.
