Because Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna will be making their comebacks, the Ireland series is significant. Ravichandran Ashwin

The eagerly anticipated comebacks of Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna will occur during India’s forthcoming match against Ireland.

Notably, both pacers are presently competing to qualify for the 2018 ODI World Cup, which is set to start on October 5. As a result, the series is quite important. Krishna will need to perform exceptionally well in order to earn his spot in the ODI team, while Bumrah, who has been out of action for nearly a year, has recently regained full fitness and will be motivated to make a statement.

Veteran Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin said that those who don’t believe the Ireland series is significant are mistaken in their beliefs. The 36-year-old continued by saying he was looking forward to the pair’s re-entry into the starting lineup since they might show to be useful resources for the national team in upcoming white-ball assignments.

August 18–23 will be a crucial period for Indian cricket, at least from the standpoint of an Indian squad. Do these three Twenty20 international matches in India have that much significance? The comeback series for Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna will be this series, so if you’re thinking that, please modify your perspective, Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

And although everyone is looking forward to Jasprit Bumrah’s return, I am also excitedly expecting Prasidh Krishna’s as he has been in outstanding form for India in white-ball cricket. Best wishes for both of them to finish this series with a ton of wickets and be in good health, he continued.

Notably, Bumrah will serve as captain for the group throughout the T20I series. It will be intriguing to watch how he manages players like Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, and Shivam Dube, among others, as they were all outstanding in the 16th Indian Premier League. Additionally, the majority of the players will be traveling to China for the 2018 Asian Games with India’s team, therefore the team composition will also be important in the series.
