Jasprit Bumrah returns to Indian squad, named skipper for T20 series against Ireland
Indian selectors on Monday named Jasprit Bumrah, who returned to the national squad after a long time as he was recovering from injuries, as the skipper for the upcoming T20 series against Ireland.
Bumrah's service was missed by the national squad for several important series in the past couple of months as his stress reaction in his lower back had assumed career-threatening proportions.
