India ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah who is out of action he was last featured in a competitive match in August 2022 in Zimbabwe. The 29-year-old was spotted bowling in the nets. The pacer got a back injury ahead of the tournament.
Now as per the recent reports Bumrah is close to regaining his full-fitness and is likely to make his highly-anticipated return to action next month during the tour of Ireland.
A video of Jasprit Bumrah going viral on social space where he was spotted bowling in the nets. Here is the video:
The pacer is continuing his rehab programme under the watchful eyes of NCA chief VVS Laxman and he is bowling full throttle at the nets, where he is bowling 8-10 overs.
While the selectors and the team management were looking to include Bumrah for the Asia Cup in September, the progression he has made in the last couple of weeks means he could travel to Ireland next month with a second-string India team. The decision on his travel would be taken in the coming days.
The report further said that Bumrah is being handled with extra care given the nature of injury he suffered and has missed the competitive cricket since last September.
The development comes as a big boost for the Indian cricket team ahead of major events such as the Asia Cup and the ICC ODI World Cup, the latter hosted by India in the months of October and November.
