BCCI confirmed Jasprit Bumrah's return to the national team earlier this week. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indian team for the three-match T20I series against Ireland, beginning on August 18. This will be Bumrah's first International match since September last year when he featured in T20Is against Australia. Bumrah faced an injury and was ruled out of the T20I World Cup later in the year. The player also missed the Test series against Australia and the World Test Championship final in June earlier this year.

This will be the second time Jasprit Bumrah will lead India in International cricket. The fast bowler earlier captained the Indian side during the rescheduled fifth Test against England in July 2022. However, it will be his bowling that will be in focus. Jasprit Bumrah is considered key for India's chances in the ODI World Cup at home later this year, and his timely return came as a big boost for the Men in Blues.
Former India all-rounder Madan Lal believes that the Indian team cannot be fixed completely on Bumrah's return. He insisted that it will require a team effort to achieve success in the ICC tournaments. India will return to ODI action in the Asia Cup, which begins later this month.
"It is really important that he plays the World Cup...:" Madal Lal on Jasprit Bumrah's return to the National team
"It is good that he (Bumrah) is going to Ireland. He will get to play matches and get to know where he stands with regard to his fitness. He will have to play matches and maintain continuity," Madan Lal said during a chat with ANI.
"It is really important that he plays the World Cup and should not take any unnecessary chances. Though Bumrah is an asset for us, one bowler cannot change everything. Our bowling will have to perform as a unit. If they do not do well for us, it would become difficult for us."
Mohammed Shami was the leader of the Indian bowling attack in ODIs during Bumrah's absence. At this time, Shami & Siraj both are rested for the upcoming huge events. All of the important players are set to make a return to ODIs during the Asia Cup, where India will begin their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2.
