‘He will be back directly for ITL’ – Fans rips apart Jasprit Bumrah as he is set to be ruled out till first two Tests against Australia

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has once again been ruled out of competitive cricket for some time. He was set to make his comeback in the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka. Since September last year, the right-arm pacer is yet to play a competitive game. At that time, he played a T20I series against Australia at home. After a while, it was found that he rushed and gotten injured.

He missed the 20-20 World Cup 2022 which proved costly for the team. Meanwhile, after clearing the fitness Test,  Nitin Patel, the head of NCA’s sports science wing suggested India’s lead pacer to rest for a month. With this, he has been ruled out for the first two Tests against Australia next month.

“After clearing those tests at the NCA last week, Bumrah had fresh bowling tests in Mumbai under the supervision of Nitin Patel, the head of NCA’s sports science wing and the final authority on a player’s fitness clearance. It was after those tests, combined with the scan results, that it was determined Bumrah would need more rehab time,” the report said.

Jasprit Bumrah was working hard at the NCA: Rohit Sharma

Meanwhile, ahead of the ODI series against the Lankan Lions, India skipper Rohit Sharma spoke to the media. During the interaction, he was asked about the latest development on the Gujarat player. The former said that it is unfortunate as Bumrah was working hard to achieve full fitness at the NCA

“It’s an unfortunate incident with him [Bumrah]. The poor guy had been working very hard at the NCA all this time. Just when he got back to full fitness, he started bowling and everything, the last two days I think this incident happened where he felt a little bit of stiffness in his back. It’s nothing major, it’s just stiffness. [But] when Bumrah says anything we have to be very cautious about it. I thought it was important for us to make that decision then, to just pull him out. When we named him [in the squad], he was in the process of getting his workload done. We need to be very careful with him. He had a major injury before the [T20] World Cup. So we just need to be careful,” he said ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka.
