The video depicts Bumrah delivering balls to Rahul in the nets and has garnered attention among cricket enthusiasts. The squad for the Asia Cup is expected to be announced this week. In the meantime, India will be under the leadership of returning player Jasprit Bumrah for the matches against Ireland.

With head coach Rahul Dravid and his support staff in the United States for the final two T20Is against West Indies, there were rumours of Laxman joining the tour. However, based on a report from Cricbuzz, Sitanshu Kotak and Sairaj Bahutule are slated to be part of the Indian support staff during the Ireland series.

The team for the Ireland matches will convene in Dublin in two distinct groups. Players from the West Indies series will travel directly from Miami to Dublin, while the rest of the squad will depart from Mumbai early on Tuesday. India’s fixtures against Ireland are scheduled for August 18, 20, and 23.

Meanwhile, Rahul is anticipated to make his comeback to the side for the Asia Cup, where India is set to face Pakistan twice in the group stage. Rahul’s role as a batter and wicket-keeper is expected to be crucial for the team’s performance in the tournament.
