Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah is making promising strides towards his much-awaited return to the international stage. After nearly an 11-month hiatus from the game, Bumrah's resurgence was evident on Saturday, August 12, as he engaged in rigorous net practice sessions at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. This marked a significant step for Bumrah, who had been sidelined due to a lower-back injury during this extended period.

The watchful eyes of NCA chairman VVS Laxman and Nitin Patel, the head of the Sports Science and Medicine department, have been dedicatedly overseeing Bumrah's recovery journey since he joined the camp. Their satisfaction with his progress is evident, underscoring his determination and commitment to regaining full form.

This remarkable progress has earned Bumrah a spot on the tour against Ireland, signaling a potential return to action in the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2023. The upcoming T20I series against Ireland holds particular significance, serving as a crucial fitness assessment for Bumrah in preparation for the Asia Cup. He is poised to lead the team in Ireland in the absence of several senior players. 

The upcoming three-match T20I series against the Irish team is expected to be a pivotal testing ground for Bumrah's readiness for the major events like Asia Cup and the World Cup.

A recent viral video showcased Bumrah's prowess, as he delivered lightning-paced and rhythmically fluid bowling, hinting at his successful recovery and readiness to shine once again on the international stage.

The countdown to the Asia Cup 2023 intensifies with each passing day, fueling excitement among fans eagerly anticipating Bumrah's return. Since his last appearance in September 2022, Bumrah has been absent from prominent events such as the IPL and WTC Final 2023, as well as various bilateral series. 

Having made his debut in 2016 against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah swiftly became an indispensable part of the Indian squad. His extraordinary ability to secure crucial wickets, especially during Powerplays and death overs, has consistently set him apart.
