Mumbai: India pacer Jasprit Bumrah's wedding has turned a blessing in disguise, permitting him a welcome break ahead of a tough schedule that comprises the Indian Premier League (IPL), tour of England for the World Test Championship final as well as a five-Test series and the much-awaited T20 World Cup in October.
He is expected to join his club Mumbai Indians at the end of this month, between March 26-28 and will immediately will go under a week-long quarantine before travelling to Chennai. Unlike him, his other India teammates will directly go to their respective venues since their movement will be bubble-to-bubble. With Bumrah, since he has been outside the bubble, he will have to serve another period of quarantine.

He missed the T20I series but played all the three ODIs in Australia. He is sitting out of the current T20I series against England and will, in all probability, miss the three-match ODI series to be held in Pune.
