It has been a frustrating wait for Bumrah, who has attempted to make a
comeback more than once since suffering a back injury in August which ruled
him out of the Asia Cup. Initially, the injury did not seem serious as he
was named in India’s T20 World Cup squad in September and even played the
last two T20Is against Australia on September 23 and 25.
Three days later, Bumrah did not play the first T20I against South Africa
and it was learnt that he was taken for scans, which revealed a
stress-related injury in his back. He was rushed to NCA and the scans there
confirmed that the injury was serious. It ruled him out of the T20 World
Cup, in which India achieved a semifinal finish.
