India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah The BCCI on Monday announced that it has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup due to a back injury. That Bumrah has been ruled out of the big-ticket event due to a stress fracture.

As soon as the official confirmation came, Indian cricket fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment over the poor workload management by the BCCI.

“The BCCI medical team has dropped Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken after a detailed assessment and consultation with experts,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement. Bumrah was initially ruled out of the ongoing three-match T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury.
While BCCI will soon replace Bumrah in the squad for the marquee tournament, Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar will find a place in the main squad. Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Umran Malik’s name is expected to appear in the stand-by list. Bumrah has a history of back problems due to his unconventional front-on action, which puts a lot of weight on his back. In 2019 too he was ruled out for three months with a minor stress fracture, but this time, it could be a case of at least four to six months of no show.
This year, Bumrah has played only 5 games in each of the three formats apart from 14 matches for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.
