India Squad Asia Cup 2022 – Jasprit Bumrah Injured: What comes as a massive blow for Team India, ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is ruled out of Asia Cup T20 Cricket in UAE. Bumrah has been ruled out due to a back injury. Harshal Patel was recently ruled out with a rib injury. India’s Asia Cup squad was announced on Monday evening.

“Jasprit Bumrah has a back injury and will not play in the Asia Cup. He is our main bowler and we would like him to be back in action before T20 World Cup. We can’t risk him in Asia Cup and the injury could aggravate,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

Bumrah is likely to make a comeback for the HOME SERIES against Australia.

Bumrah was set to lead India’s pace attack at the Asia Cup T20 in UAE. But now, Rohit Sharma will have to come up with a plan B. Arshdeep Singh is a sure-shot starter while senior pro Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Avesh Khan also made it to the squad.

Bumrah last played in the ODI away series against England before being rested from the rubber against West Indies and the upcoming one against Zimbabwe.

However, it is understood that the back issue will keep him out for some time and he will need to do rehabilitation work at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. He will likely to return for the white-ball home series against Australia and South Africa in September-October.

Bumrah had had similar issues a few years ago and was out for a considerable amount of time. Currently, the pacer is holidaying with his family in the United States.

Bumrah’s injury is a setback for the Indian team as he would need some matches to get into the groove after a long lay-off which will be more than two months.

While he is an automatic choice as and when he makes a comeback, the same can’t be said about someone like Avesh Khan, who, if given a chance in the Asia Cup, would like to prove his worth to remain in the mix.

India ASIA CUP Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Deepak Hooda, Yuzvendra Chahal
