Jasprit Bumrah, a premier speed bowler for India, was selected on Tuesday to be a part of India’s team for the forthcoming one-day international series against Sri Lanka. This means that Bumrah will soon return to international cricket.
Bumrah’s most recent appearance with the Indian national side was in September of the previous year, when they played Australia in a series of Twenty20 Internationals at home. Unfortunately, a stress fracture in Bumrah’s back prevented him from competing in the Twenty20 World Cup.
Bumrah’s comeback will strengthen India’s fast bowling department, an area in which the team has struggled for some time due to a lack of genuine pace.
Given the importance of Bumrah to the squad in the year ahead, when they will be competing in the World Cup for the 50-over format at their own venue, it would be intriguing to see how the team management handles him.
Bumrah’s selection comes two days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced new measures for preventing key players from becoming incapacitated due to injuries in advance of major international tournaments. These new measures are intended to ensure that key players do not become incapacitated due to injuries.
Bumrah has been an important player for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years, and his workload management by the franchise in this year’s competition will be a focus of everyone’s attention.
“Due to a back ailment, Bumrah has not participated in a cricket match since September 2022, and he was also unable to compete in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
After undergoing rehabilitation, the bowler has been given the all clear to return to the field by the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Soon, he would be playing one-day internationals for Team India “according to the release on Bumrah’s inclusion from the BCCI.
