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. Jasprit Bumrah Back in Indian Cricket Team; Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami Rested As BCCI Announces Squads for Sri Lanka T20Is and Australia ODIs.
