Jasprit Bumrah back in the ODI Squad
Jasprit Bumrah was added to the India ODI team on Tuesday afternoon for the forthcoming three-match series against Sri Lanka by the All-India Senior Selection Committee. Due to a back ailment, Bumrah has been sidelined since September 2022 and was also disqualified from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Bumrah missed the Asia Cup in the UAE in the middle of 2022 because of a similar back problem. During the domestic T20I series against Australia in September, the seamer made a comeback. But was dropped again due to growing injury concerns.
