Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Will India Bring Him Back for the 2027 World Cup?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar last played an ODI for India in January 2022. The question of whether he will be recalled to India’s squad for the Cricket World Cup 2027 remains to be answered.

The most recent One-Day International appearance by Bhuvneshwar Kumar for India took place in January 2022. The topic of his potential return to the national ODI side has been raised in relation to the 2027 World Cup. This article sets out the basic facts about his international absence and frames the central question about a possible recall.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s last outing in the ODI format for India occurred in January 2022. That date is the focal point for any discussion about his international availability moving forward. No additional international appearances in ODIs for India are recorded after that month in 2022.

The event at the centre of the selection discussion is the Cricket World Cup scheduled for 2027. The notion of a recall specifically pertains to inclusion in India’s squad for that tournament. The timing of his last ODI is the only documented international ODI datum referenced here.

Available public information records January 2022 as the endpoint of Kumar’s ODI appearances for India. Beyond that timestamp, there are no further ODI entries for him in the India national team record within this report. The question of selection for 2027 therefore relates directly to that gap in ODI involvement.

This piece confines itself to the verifiable facts: Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s last ODI for India was in January 2022, and the matter under consideration is whether he will be part of the Cricket World Cup 2027 squad. No additional claims or assessments are included here.

Whether selectors will take any steps toward recalling him ahead of the 2027 tournament is not established in the information provided. The documented fact that his most recent India ODI came in January 2022 stands as the central point for any future reporting on this subject.
