Bumrah, who had undergone surgery for a lower back stress fracture earlier this year, was going through a rehabilitation process at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
The pace spearhead's last appearance for India was last September during a home T20I series against Australia.
There were deliberations about Bumrah's readiness to handle the twin responsibility of leader of pace attack and the team.
But PTI has learned that the 29-year-old was eager to don the dual role during the Ireland trip. Bumrah has the experience of leading the side as he had led India against England in the Birmingham Test last year.
In a further boost to India's pace inventory, Karnataka right-arm quick Prasidh Krishna too was included in the squad to tour Ireland.
