Jasprit Bumrah will play his first international match in nearly one year as India take on Ireland in 1st T20I on Friday.

The stage is set for Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the Indian team. It is after a gap of 326 days that the marquee pacer will be donning the India jersey again in an international match. The Ireland T20Is, however, are extra special for Bumrah who is set to become the 11th player to lead the Indian men’s cricket team in T20Is. As India take on Ireland in the first match on Friday, the marquee pacer would look to claim an ultimate record, becoming the Indian with the most wickets in death overs.

When Jasprit Bumrah comes out for the toss in the first T20I against Ireland, he will not only become the first Indian bowler to lead the T20I side but will also offer hope for the Team ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 and the World Cup 2023

It is a return that every Indian cricket team had been waiting for since almost one year. When Jasprit Bumrah comes out for the toss in the first T20I against Ireland, he will not only become the first Indian bowler to lead the T20I side but will also offer hope for the Team ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 and the World Cup 2023. The last time Bumrah played for India, it was over 300 days ago. Since then lower-back stress fractures pushed him on the sidelines for the “biggest break” of his cricketing career,

Southee picked up five scalps for 25 runs in four overs, Neesham and Santner picked up two while a returning Kyle Jamieson got one wicket for 20 runs in 2.4 overs.

A half-century by Tim Seifert and a scorching five-wicket haul by pacer Tim Southee helped New Zealand clinch a hard-fought, narrow win against United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the first match of the three-match T20I series in Dubai on Thursday. With this win, NZ has a 1-0 lead over UAE, who fought really hard to push NZ to their limits.  Put to bat first by UAE, NZ lost opener Chad Bowes on the very first ball.
