Jasprit Bumrah-Led Team India Leave For Ireland | See Photos

This series will be the deciding factor for Jasprit Bumrah's selection for the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.

INDIAN cricket team leave for Ireland to play the three-match T20I series ahead of Asia Cup 2023. This series will be important for India as ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah is making a comeback to cricketing action after recovering from a back injury.

Bumrah will be leading the squad and Ruturaj Gaikwad will be his deputy. This series will be important for Ruturaj as well, because the batter will lead team India in the upcoming Asian Games which will be played in China later this year.

Bumrah has been out of competitive cricket since September 2022 due to a back injury which needed surgery earlier this year in New Zealand. Apart from him, fast-bowler Prasidh Krishna is also coming back from a lumbar stress fracture in the back and went under the knife in New Zealand in December last year.  

The Ireland series will provide a glimpse into how Bumrah and Krishna are faring competitively after undergoing rehab at the NCA in Bengaluru.
