Report: Jasprit Bumrah Returns to Mumbai for Personal Reasons During Asia Cup 2023

Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has made an unexpected departure from the ongoing Asia Cup due to personal reasons, according to sources.

Cricket News

There is optimism that he will rejoin the team in time for the Super Stage, set to commence on September 6. In his absence, pace veteran Mohammed Shami, who sat out the initial clash against Pakistan in Kandy, is likely to be considered as a replacement for the match against Nepal.

Bumrah's Remarkable Return

Jasprit Bumrah recently marked his return to international cricket after an absence of more than 10 months due to injury. During India’s T20I series against Ireland, where he assumed the captaincy, Bumrah not only led a youthful Indian squad to a series victory but also showcased exceptional fitness and form, claiming four wickets across two matches, with impressive figures of 2/15.

Crucial Matchup for India

India is set to face Nepal in a crucial Asia Cup encounter in Kandy. In Group A, Pakistan has already secured a place in the Super Four stage with three points, courtesy of a win over Nepal and a rain-affected draw against arch-rivals India, which resulted in each team earning a point. Now, India (1 point) and Nepal (0 points) must secure a victory in this fixture to progress to the Super Four stage.

Squads for the Match

India:

  • Captain: Rohit Sharma
  • Players: Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (Vice-Captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Sanju Samson (Travelling Reserve)

Nepal:

  • Captain: Rohit Paudel
  • Players: Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Bhim Sharki, Kushal Malla, Aarif Sheikh, Dipendra Singh Airee, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Karan KC, Sandeep Lamichhane, Lalit Rajbanshi, Pratish GC, Mousom Dhakal, Sundeep Jora, Kishore Mahato, Arjun Saud
