The BCCI’s performance review meeting on Monday is reported to have included a discussion of Bumrah’s rehab and recuperation report, which changed the BCCI’s stance on selection.

On December 27, the BCCI named the Indian squad for the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka. Out of caution, Bumrah was left off the roster. Today, on January 2, the All-India Senior Selection Committee has now included bowler Jasprit Bumrah in India’s ODI squad for the forthcoming Mastercard 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, nevertheless.
