Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was named in Indian squads for T20Is against Sri Lanka and ODIs against Australia. The pacer is making a comeback after being out of action due to a stress fracture on his back. Bumrah last represented India in the Test series against West Indies. Interestingly, the fast-bowler has not played an ODI post World Cup 2019 and his last T20I outing was against Australia in February this year.

Interesting!
Jasprit Bumrah in my opinion should've skipped the T20i series against Sri Lanka, he just came from an injury and he'll playing 12 matches inside 38 days starting from Lankan T20i series!
