Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. He follows Ravindra Jadeja, who will also miss the competition due to a knee injury for which he had to undergo surgery.
Bumrah was recently injured in the buildup to the T20 series against South Africa. He complained of back pain, and has since been undergoing scans for the same. Now, the BCCI has confirmed their decision to leave him out in an official statement.
