Jasprit Bumrah To Make Comeback In IND vs AUS ODI Series, Sanju Samson Also In Fray For Selection

New Delhi: If reports are to be believed, star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is likely to return to the Indian team for the ODI series against Australia. Also, wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson has recovered from his knee injury and is in fray for selection in the Indian squad for white-ball series.

Sanju missed the T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka after injuring his knee during the 1st T20I. Samson is back in the NCA working with a personal physio in Kochi and it is believed that he has also cleared his fitness test.

"Sanju has returned to the NCA for injury assessment. From what I heard, he is at 100% and is available for selection. As for Bumrah, it will take another month or so. We expect him to be fit before the ODI series against Australia. But it will depend on his progress. At present, he is not fit," a senior BCCI official told InsideSport on Saturday

Speaking about Bumrah, the ace pacer has been out of action for a while owing to a back injury he picked up following the England tour. After missing the chunk of India's matches, Bumrah was rushed to the Indian team in the T20I series against Australia, ahead of the T20 World Cup, before being ruled out again. He was recently named in the ODI series against Sri Lanka but he pulled out after complaining about stiff back. Selectors didn't name him in the four match Test series against Australia keeping the ODI World Cup in mind.
