BCCI on Tuesday announced India's squad for upcoming tours of New Zealand and Bangladesh. Chief selector Chetan Sharma also provided an update on Jasprit Burmah's return and why the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan were excluded from India's squad.
Bumrah had earlier made his return from injury and played two matches against Australia but missed the T20 World Cup 2022 through injury. Sharma insisted that Bumrah will not be rushed, given the relapse earlier.
Elsewhere, he also revealed why the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan had been snubbed despite their impressive performances for Mumbai in the domestic circuit.

Speaking at a press conference held to announce India's squad, Sharma insisted that Bumrah's progress will be monitored.
"He will be back soon. Hoping we will play for India again soon. We hurried Jasprit Bumrah before the T20 World Cup and you saw what happened. So we want to be patient now. NCA team is looking after him well. Right now, we are a little cautious about including Bumrah. When we rest a player, there is a reason behind it," said the chief selector.

Meanwhile, he also insisted that Prithvi and Sarfaraz will get their chances in due time.
