Bhuvneshwar Kumar Ready for India Return Ahead of 2027 ODI World Cup, Says Selectors' Call

Despite not playing for India since late 2022, his strong performances in recent IPL seasons, including helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru win consecutive titles, have sparked calls for his recall amid injury concerns in India's pace attack. Kumar, currently playing in the UP T20 League, emphasized his focus remains on performing well and that selection decisions rest with the team management.
