Due to the recurrence of his back issue, Bumrah was forced to withdraw from the India vs. South Africa series. He was promptly pulled out of the practice and taken to Bengaluru for tests. Despite initial speculation that he would be completely ruled out of the T20 World Cup, the findings are encouraging. He has no stress fracture and might be accessible in 4-6 weeks. But barring a miracle, he is undoubtedly going to miss the opening few T20 World Cup games.
However, new updates have suggested that it is quite improbable that Bumrah will fly on October 5 from Mumbai to Perth with the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, where the team will train for the competition.
“Bumrah needs rest as that is the best medicine for back injury. For now, he will be in touch with the NCA medical staff. Nitin is directly overseeing his recovery. We are not ruling him out of World Cup completely. He will travel with the team to Australia and continue his recovery there. We have time till October 15 to make changes,” a senior BCCI official have told InsideSport.
