Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah will likely to make his cricketing comeback in the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. The ace speedster is currently on a break from cricket. He last featured in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 where India defeated South Africa in the final to clinch the title. Bumrah missed the recently concluded series against Sri Lanka where Men in Blue played three T20Is followed by the same ODIs.
“According to the available information, Bumrah could feature in one of the two Tests against Bangladesh, and since there is just a three-day break between each of the three Tests against New Zealand, the 30-year-old pacer is likely to feature only in two Tests against the Kiwis” said News 18.
In the absence of Mohammed Shami, Siraj is all set to lead the Indian pace attack in the upcoming home series, and like Bumrah, he will also be rotated during the home season and could be rested for a couple of Tests at home.
“We cannot rest everyone at one go because you need experience, even in home conditions. Like in the case of the England series, where India paired a senior pacer with a youngster, a similar approach would be adopted. There is a good crop of fast bowlers at the Duleep Trophy who have been picked keeping the Australia tour in mind. If they do well, we can use them in home conditions before taking them to Australia,” a BCCI official was quoted as per Network 18.
Earlier. there were reports that Mohammed Shami will make his comeback in cricket from the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh but the veteran speedster's injury will take more time to recover so he will most likely to miss this series and make his comeback from the New Zealand Test series. Shami and Bumrah will be India's vital cog for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 scheduled to take place in Australia.
