What was a scare has turned into a nightmare for Team India. Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of T20 World Cup following his rushed return. Bumrah complained of back pain during practice and was immediately withdrawn from all training routines. But the damage was already done. He is set to miss 4-6 months with the back injury even if he doesn’t require surgery. InsideSport understands that Bumrah has a back stress fracture.
“Bumrah was initially ruled out from the ongoing 3-match T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury. The BCCI will be naming a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the squad for the marquee tournament soon,” it added.
