Jadeja, Bumrah and Iyer are with the Indian cricket team in Australia.
Both sides come face to face in the second T20I on Sunday, with the visitors having won the first fixture of the three-match series.
The hosts won the ODI series, which took place before the T20Is.
While Bumrah and Iyer are both part of the T20I squads, Jadeja was ruled out due to injury after playing a starring role with the bat in the opening T20I.
