Mumbai, April 6: Ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is set for a comeback after he joined Mumbai Indians squad ahead of the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, confirmed the team’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene here on Sunday.
Bumrah had been sidelined with a back injury that he suffered during the fifth and final Test against Australia in Sydney in January, and missed key assignments such as the Champions Trophy.
“Yeah, he is available. He is training today, so he should be available tomorrow,” Jayawardene said on the eve of the match against RCB.
“He arrived last night and I believe he had his sessions with NCA to finalise that. He has been handed over to our physios.
“So, yeah, he is bowling today, all (is) good and we will play tomorrow (Monday).”
Jayawardene admitted Bumrah’s return gives Mumbai Indians the opportunity to play their desired pace combination. (PTI)
