Jasprit Bumrah's return to motion might be imminent, with the quick bowler now "bowling with full intensity in the nets", in line with a BCCI medical replace. Bumrah, whose final aggressive cricket got here in September 2022, has been undergoing rehabilitation on the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru since undergoing back surgery in New Zealand in March this yr.

"The duo will now play some practice games, which the NCA will organise. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them following the practice games."

ESPNcricinfo understands the NCA is aware of Bumrah's workload, and has organised apply video games, in order that he can play below a physio's supervision, reasonably than asking him to play within the 50-overs inter-zonal Deodhar Trophy. If he pulls up nicely within the apply video games, he might be in competition for the three-match T20I collection in Ireland, which is scheduled to run from August 18 to 23.

After the Ireland tour, India will subsequent be in motion on the Asia Cup, from August 30 to September 17. In late September, they'll host Australia for 3 ODIs, simply earlier than the ODI World Cup will get underway on October 5.
