Why did India recall Bhuvneshwar Kumar after 4-year absence?
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's return to India's T20I squad after four years comes amid a shift in selection thinking. Ajit Agarkar's exit as chief selector opened the door for experienced players, with PTI reporting he was against recalling players after moving on from them. Jasprit Bumrah's absence also created a need for a senior pacer. Bhuvneshwar took 28 wickets in IPL 2026.
