IND vs IRE: Watch- Fit Again Jasprit Bumrah Bowls At Full Throttle In Nets As He Gears Up For His International Comeback

All eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah as India gets ready to take on Ireland in the three-match T20I series later this month. The fast-bowler will be making his much-awaited return to international cricket in the T20I series.

Jasprit Bumrah has now played a competitive match since September last year. His last appearance for Team India came during the home T20I series against Australia before he was sidelined with a back injury. He was named in the squad for the home ODI series against Sri Lanka at the start of the ongoing year but on the eve of the series, he pulled out after experiencing pain.

Later in March, he underwent back surgery in New Zealand before going to the National Cricket Academy for his rehab. He has been at the NCA since then and missed the home Test series against Australia, IPL 2023, the World Test Championship final as well as the ongoing tour of West Indies.

All eyes will be on the pacer as the team management will be hoping that he gets back to his best as soon as possible ahead of the Asia Cup and the World Cup. And while only time will tell how he performs against Ireland, he has started giving a glimpse of the things to come.
