Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022
As mentioned above, Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 due to a stress fracture injury on his back. He made a comeback in the Indian team during the T20I series against Australia but the move to fast track his return backfire as his injury worsened after that series.
The senior paceman missed the T20 World Cup 2022, home Test series against Australia, IPL 2023, and the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final. During the practice match on Monday, Bumrah bowled his full quota of 10 overs in two spells and returned figures of 1 for 34 with two maidens.
Earlier, BCCI secretary Jay Shah gave an update on Bumrah’s return to the international scene. “Bumrah is totally fit, and he may go to Ireland,” Shah said last week.
Meanwhile, Bumrah is set to be included in the Indian Squad against Ireland. Team India is scheduled to play a series of three T20 internationals against Ireland in Dublin on August 18, 20 and 23 before they travel to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup 2023 where they will open their campaign against Pakistan in Kandy on September 2.
