Jasprit Bumrah resumes training for India ahead of Afghanistan series

Jasprit Bumrah returned to the Indian nets at Ferozeshah Kotla on Friday following a two-month recovery from a knee injury sustained in England. The pacer completed a 45-minute bowling session, testing openers Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with yorkers and seam movement. His recovery is central to team planning as India prepares for a dense schedule that includes upcoming Test and ODI series in New Zealand. While team management has previously limited his playing time to ensure his availability for major tournaments, his return is viewed as a significant development for India’s fast-bowling unit. Current selectors are assessing his workload to balance his fitness with the demands of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle. Indian medical staff will monitor the 32-year-old closely during the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.
