Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah might return to competitive cricket next month for the two-Test series against Bangladesh. As reported by the Indian Express, Bumrah, who last represented India in the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa in Barbados on June 29, 2024, is expected to participate in one of the upcoming Test matches against Bangladesh.
The Test series between India and Bangladesh is set to begin on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The second test is scheduled to be held at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
According to the latest report, Bumrah might play in one of the two Tests against Bangladesh. Due to the brief three-day break between each of the three Tests against New Zealand. The 30-year-old pacer is likely to be involved in just two of the matches against the Kiwis.
According to a BCCI official – “We cannot rest everyone at one go because you need experience, even in home conditions. Like in the case of the England series, where India paired a senior pacer with a youngster, a similar approach would be adopted. There is a good crop of fast bowlers at the Duleep Trophy who have been picked keeping the Australia tour in mind. If they do well, we can use them in home conditions before taking them to Australia.”
