Jasprit Bumrah: Star pacer all set to miss yet another series ! Ruled out of New Zealand series, first tests against Australia

Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah was removed from India’s three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka out of concern, but it might not be enough to get the bowler to compete in the whole Border-Gavaskar Trophy encounter against Australia. According to sources, Bumrah won’t likely play in the whole limited-overs series against New Zealand and at least the first few Test matches against Australia.

Jasprit – Bumrah excluded from IND vs SL series

Bumrah was released from the Sri Lanka ODIs on the eve of the series opener in Guwahati after the right-arm seamer reported soreness in his back. This happened exactly one month prior to the first of the four Test matches against Australia beginning on February 9 in Nagpur.

Bumrah’s inclusion in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka series was already a last-minute decision. After receiving the all-clear from the National Cricket Academy (NCA), where Bumrah has been receiving his rehabilitation for a while, the selectors immediately picked him into the lineup. But just when everything seemed to be going Bumrah and India’s way, the bowler had some back pain during a match simulation training.

Jasprit Bumrah experiencing back pain

The 29-year-old fast bowler managed to pass the match simulation on the first day, but when the load increased the following day, he complained of back pain. Without taking any chances and keeping in mind the Australia Tests, Asia Cup, and ODI World Cup, the team management made the quick decision to remove him from the ODI squad.

The decision to rush Bumrah’s return last year backfired miserably, keeping him out of the T20 World Cup, so the physios and support staff are extra cautious this time around. After a protracted injury layoff, Bumrah played only a few T20Is against Australia in September before injuring his back once more.

Bumrah will need three more weeks of recovery before he can resume bowling at full strength, according to the report, which virtually excludes him from the first part of the Australia Test series.
