Bumrah has been out since the start of the home series against South Africa in October 2019, due to a stress fracture but has made a steady recovery.
Calling 2019 a year full of "accomplishments", Bumrah had tweeted: "2019 has been a year of accomplishments, learning, hard work and making memories, on the field and off it too. And on the last day of the year, I'm looking forward to everything that 2020 has to offer!"
