Jasprit Bumrah, a renowned Indian pacer, hasn’t played in an international match in almost 11 months, but he is already displaying strong indications that he may rejoin his country’s squad soon. At Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bumrah was spotted working out in the nets on Saturday, August 12. In particular, the pacer was sidelined for the specified time due to a lower-back issue
As Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav haven’t been named to the squad, Bumrah will soon head to Ireland for a three-match T20I series against the home team, where he’s expected to not only lead the bowling lineup but also assume leadership of the group. He had already led the squad in the Test format against England, but this series will be his first as the Indian team’s captain in a colored shirt.
The squad has sorely missed Jasprit Bumrah skills for a considerable amount of time now, so seeing him bowl in such a strong flow is undoubtedly welcome news for cricket fans.
The Ahmedabad-born star of the bowling unit will be crucial as the Men in Blue get ready for both the crucial ODI World Cup and the upcoming Asia Cup.

The nation of India is showing promising indications of recovery.
KL Rahul has recently been spotted honing his wicketkeeping reflexes at the NCA. Rahul is nearing full recovery after suffering a lower-hip injury against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in game 43 of the Indian Premier League in 2023. For the past few weeks, rumors surrounding Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s comebacks in the Indian team have surfaced.
The conundrum surrounding the Indian team’s playing lineup may be finally addressed now that so many players are returning to peak condition. In order to prepare for upcoming international events, it will be intriguing to see which players make the cut.
