Ahead of the Asian Cup which will kick off on August 27, very bad news is coming for the Indian cricket fans. Team India’s number one fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, has been out of the Asian Cup. According to the PTI report, Jasprit Bumrah is suffering from a back injury. Previously, Jasprit Bumrah also rested from the ODI and T20 series played against the West Indies.
The Indian team has not yet been selected for the Asian Cup. Such speculations are being made that the Indian team for the Asian Cup could be announced on Monday night. However, it has become clear that Jasprit Bumrah will not be part of India’s Asian Cup squad.
The BCCI has yet to issue any official update on Jasprit Bumrah’s injury. Nothing can be said about when Jasprit Bumrah will return to the field. But Jasprit Bumrah’s injury at the moment is very worrying for the India team.
Jasprit Bumrah is Team India’s number one fast pitcher in all three formats. Jasprit Bumrah toured England in June-July. During the limited series of overs played against England, Jasprit Bumrah suffered from back pain. Following this, Jasprit Bumrah rested from the ODI and T20 series played against the West Indies.
However, it was believed that Jasprit Bumrah’s injury would heal until the Asian Cup. Jasprit Bumrah’s selection in India’s squad for the Asian Cup was believed to be fixed. It is now possible that Jasprit Bumrah could return to the India team only through the T20 series against Australia next month. Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery is also important because the T20 World Cup will be hosted in Australia later this year.
