After a three-year hiatus, Jasprit Bumrah made his return to ODI cricket for the upcoming series against England. Bumrah’s last appearance in the 50-over format was in the 2023 final against Australia. Since then, the team management has strategically managed his workload, preserving him primarily for Test cricket and marquee T20I events, including the 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cups.

With the selectors focusing on the 2027 World Cup, the 32-year-old has returned to the ODI setup as part of the Men in Blue’s preparation in the build-up to the marquee event, co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, bringing invaluable experience and penetration to a youthful bowling attack.

Bumrah was rested for a One-Off Test and the recently concluded three-match ODI series, as well as upcoming T20I assignments against Ireland and England, in order to keep him fresh and fully recovered for the upcoming 50-over contests.
