NEW DELHI (Reuters): India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will return from a lengthy injury absence to lead the side against Ireland in the Twenty20 series next month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Monday.

Bumrah also missed last year’s T20 World Cup in Australia and the Indian Premier League.

India face Ireland in three T20s, starting on Aug. 18.
