Jasprit Bumrah has been included in India's revised squad for ODI series against Sri Lanka later this month. Bumrah has been injured since September.
Team India have received a major boost ahead of the first T20I against Sri Lanka as Jasprit Bumrah has been declared fit to play in the ODI series, between the two teams later this month. Dasun Shanaka's men will be touring the subcontinent for a three-match T20I series, with the first fixture slated to be played in Mumbai Wankhede Stadium later in the day.
Bumrah, who has been injured since September 2022 has been declared fit by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and this comes as a major boost for the Men in Blue.
With the ODI World Cup 2023 just nine months away, Bumrah's fitness has been a major concern for Team India, especially since he missed the T20 World Cup 2022 due to the relapse of his back issue. He will join the ODI squad 'soon' according to the media advisory shared by the BCCI.
