Good news has come for the Indian cricket team and its fans. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is set to return. He is reported to be playing in the third and last match between India A and New Zealand A.

The Indian team is currently touring New Zealand. A five-match T20 series is being played between India and New Zealand on the tour. Two matches are over and India lead 2-0. The third and crucial match will be played tomorrow. If India win it, the series will also be theirs.

Meanwhile, a three-match unofficial Test series is also being played between India A and New Zealand A. The first match of the series is currently under way. Bumrah is expected to take the field in the third and last match. Rishabh Pant is also likely to be seen playing alongside him.

Bumrah is counted among the world's top bowlers and is now ready to return to the cricket field after a long time. His inclusion in the third match will add to the strength of the India A side. If Pant also comes into the side, the team's batting will be strengthened too.

The third and last unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A will be played from November 7 to 10. According to information received, Bumrah and Pant are likely to play in this match. Pant, the hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batter, is also considered almost certain to play alongside Bumrah. With the return of these two star players, the third unofficial Test from November 7 to 10 could be a closely fought contest.

The schedule for the Test series between India and New Zealand is also fixed. The first Test will be played from November 19 to 23. The second Test will be held from November 27 to December 1.
