Bumrah was previously ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a back injury. In his last T20I on September 25, the third and final competition against Australia, he had conceded 50 off four overs - his worst T20I figures. He is being checked by the BCCI medical team. Given his recurring back injury, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is unwilling to take odds with the suitability of one of its key players during a T20 World Cup.

“He repaid to the Indian team recently, but ahead of the T20s against South Africa, he complained of back pain and was not comprised for the first T20I. The medical team assessed him and it was decided that Bumrah will be out of action for at least 4 to 6 weeks,” a BCCI insider said. “In case of such injuries, you cannot put a timeline for retrieval. At this point, it is highly unlikely that he will travel to Australia...”

This brings Mohammed Shami, originally named as a reserve, into the mix. However, India T20 World Cup Bowler Shami was not a part of the T20Is against Australia and South Africa as he did not recuperate from Covid-19 in time. Bumrah’s wound setback puts a question mark on India’s bowling makeup in the leadup to the major event. He is the next player to be ruled out after Ravindra Jadeja, who is improving from knee surgery. 

Since India is among the squads that have qualified for the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup, it can make changes to its squad till Oct. 15.
