Jasprit Bumrah has been added to India's ODI squad for the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

The fast bowler has been out of action since September last year because of a stress reaction in his back, and he's been rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru since then.

When India's squads for the T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka were announced on December 27, ESPNcricinfo had reported that Bumrah was fit, but the selectors were being cautious about bringing him back too soon because of the way his back injury had resurfaced during the home T20Is against Australia last year. Bumrah was subsequently ruled out of the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, where India lost to England in the semi-finals.

ESPNcricinfo understands the selectors have since deemed his progress as satisfactory. Bumrah is understood to have amped up his training routine and bowling over the past week, resulting in his inclusion in the squad. "The pacer has undergone rehabilitation and has been declared fit by the NCA," the BCCI said in a statement. "He will be joining the Team India ODI squad soon."

India play three ODIs against Sri Lanka on January 10, 12 and 15, after the three-T20I series that begins on January 3.

India's squad for Sri Lanka ODIs: Rohit Sharma (capt), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya (vc), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh.
