Jasprit Bumrah travelled to Bengaluru on Wednesday for a comprehensive scan, the results of which are anticipated. The BCCI’s medical staff is also keeping an eye on things. Bumrah’s participation in the T20 World Cup 2022 will be decided in the next days.
A back ailment prevented India’s pace leader from competing in the 2022 Asia Cup. After completing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore, he eventually made his way back to the Indian squad. In fact, because to his ailment and the need to manage his workload, Bumrah was rested for the first T20I against Australia.
Bumrah has virtually little chance of competing in the T20 World Cup in 2022, according to a senior BCCI official. “Bumrah won’t participate in the World T20, that much is certain. He has a severe back problem. He might not be able to work for six months because of the stress fracture, the doctor added.
To fill in for the injured bowler, Mohammad Shami, who was recently reported to have recovered from COVID19, may be selected for the Indian team. Deepak Chahar, who has dazzled everyone with his razor-sharp talents, is also in the running for a BCCI nod. For the T20 World Cup 2022, both of the aforementioned pacers are listed as bowling reserves.
It’s crucial to remember that India’s ongoing death bowling problem hasn’t been fixed yet. The opposition has had no trouble taking the bowlers for runs. Even Harshal Patel, a death bowling expert, hasn’t been able to keep the batsmen in check. Additionally, senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has come under fire from the supporters for his subpar death bowling skills.
