Former India batter, Wasim Jaffer, expressed some skepticism about Bumrah's return to form and intensity after the injury. Highlighting Bumrah's importance to India's bowling attack, especially in the upcoming World Cup, Jaffer emphasized the need for the talented bowler to regain full fitness to lead the team's pace attack effectively.

Bumrah is a vital cog in India's bowling line-up, Indian fans eagerly await his comeback. The tour of Ireland will be a perfect opportunity for the pacer to get back to his lethal best ahead of the all-important ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
