Speaking of Jasprit Bumrah, he last played for Team India in September 2022. Hence, he missed the Asia Cup and the 20-20 World Cup in 2022. In January 2023, he was set for a comeback but he got denied. After that, he has missed the IPL and WTC finals in 2023 so far. So, all eyes are on him whether he can make a comeback in the Ireland series to get fully fitter for both the upcoming Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup.  

According to News18, a source said: “Jasprit Bumrah is looking very good for the Ireland series in August this year. It will be a big boost to the Indian cricket team and will also allow Bumrah time in the middle after the long injury lay-off. If everything stays on course, a Bumrah at peak fitness is likely to take field.” 

“Nitin Patel and Rajnikanth have been working very closely with Bumrah and keeping him on track during the rehab period at the NCA. Both are very experienced and don’t want to take any chance with Bumrah in what is a very crucial white-ball year and also the start of the new World Test Championship cycle,” he further added.
