Jasprit Bumrah added to India squad for ODI series against Sri Lanka

Jasprit Bumrah has been added to India's ODI squad for the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

The fast bowler has been out of action since September last year because of a stress reaction in his back, and he's been rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru since then.

When India's squads for the T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka were announced on December 27, ESPNcricinfo had reported that Bumrah was fit, but the selectors were being cautious about bringing him back too soon because of the way his back injury had resurfaced during the home T20Is against Australia last year. Bumrah was subsequently ruled out of the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, where India lost to England in the semi-finals.

 

 

ESPNcricinfo understands the selectors have since deemed his progress as satisfactory. Bumrah is understood to have amped up his training routine and bowling over the past week, resulting in his inclusion in the squad. "The pacer has undergone rehabilitation and has been declared fit by the NCA," the BCCI said in a statement. "He will be joining the Team India ODI squad soon."

India play three ODIs against Sri Lanka on January 10, 12 and 15, after the three-T20I series that begins on January 3.

India's squad for Sri Lanka ODIs: Rohit Sharma (capt), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya (vc), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh.

Good news but I hope Umran is not benched.

 

Bumrah, Siraj and Umran can be the 3 quicks in the playing 11.

If we had this pace attack in Australia, we would have done much better.

Good to see him back. Hopefully is fully fit and hasn't lost any weapons.

[express bowling]

Hope Bumrah is back to full pace and fitness 

[SM2907]

isko ultimatum mila hoga, if he has to play 2023 WC, he has to play  ODI series before that

[Frustrated]

Dont trust NCA these days.  It is run by crooks.  D Chahar was released by NCA after he passed the fitness test last month.   Only to get injured after bowling 3 overs of harmless spell against bangladesh.

Bumrah should focus more on IPL as he has been doing for last several years.

Bumrah would have benefited from playing a couple Ranji matches for Gujarat to be match fit for tests against AUS.

 

But these days BCCI and TM cannot take a single basic, reasonable decision. They make a hash of the simplest thing.

 

Playing Ranji trophy is beneath our IPL superstars..

Last time he was declared fit, he bowled three overs and left the field. Don't rush him. Prepare a bowling unit that can survive without him.

no need to play this meaningless series

 

We need to preserve him only for important series like BGT and WC

The only way to be match fit and stay that way, is to play lots of matches.

Agree...we need to show some trust on new pacers. Umran has shown his worth, Bumrah should take it easy and instead play domestics first instead of directly playing internationals.

I think window for Bumrah being a top tier bowler might have closed.He is getting injured very often. He needs to be fit for BG trophy and hopefully ICC test finals where he will finally deliver in a crunch match.
