IND vs IRE: Jay Shah provides a massive update on Jasprit Bumrah?s comeback in the Indian team

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of cricketing action since September 2022, having last played for India in the T20I series against Australia. The pacer missed quite a few important games for India and it?s fair to say that his absence was quite evident as they lost big games and a lacked quality pacer. 

Jasprit Bumrah was about to make a comeback into the Indian team through the Sri Lanka series in January. He was named in the team but then was ruled out as he complained about stiffness in his back. He underwent surgery in New Zealand and then missed the IPL 2023 along with the ongoing WTC Final. 

Since his surgery, Jasprit Bumrah has been putting in hard yards at NCA and has been showing positive signs. The pace has been continuously blowing 8-9 overs in the nets and is expected to play a practice game in the coming days. This comes as a massive boost for the team especially with Asia Cup and World Cup around the corner.
