India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has re-joined the Indian squad ahead of their Asia Cup Super Four clash against Pakistan, to be held in Colombo on Sunday.
The pacer had gone back home after India’s league match against Pakistan at Pallekele due to the birth of his son Angad. It meant that Bumrah missed India’s second league match against Nepal, which they eventually won by 10 wickets in what was another rain-curtailed clash.
As per a report in Cricbuzz, Bumrah will join the team for a practice session at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday evening. “Anticipating inclement weather, the Indian team may have to practice indoors, as they did on Thursday, unless the weather improves later in the evening, which has been the recent trend.”
“Fortunately, there has been no rain in Colombo since Friday morning (at the time of publishing), raising hopes for a productive evening practice session,” it added.
