India's preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup received a major jolt earlier this week as ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah was officially ruled out of the marquee event due to a back injury.

Due to this same injury, Bumrah had also missed the Asia Cup. Ever since the news was made official of the pacer being ruled out of the T20 World Cup, several fans on Twitter have been trolling Bumrah for being available for his franchise Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, but not for Team India.

On Wednesday, Bumrah posted an Instagram story, taking a dig at his critics and he used the famous quote of Winston Churchill.

The quote reads: "You will never reach the destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks." A day after the BCCI announced that Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup, the star pacer had tweeted saying he was "gutted" to be missing out. "I am gutted that I won't be a part of the T20 World Cup this time, but thankful for the wishes, care and support I've received from my loved ones," he tweeted. "As I recover, I'll be cheering on the team through their campaign in Australia," the 28-year-old added.

Key all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is also missing the tournament due to injury, but Rohit insisted the team was ready for the challenge with the players at hand.

Bumrah has been ruled out of competitive cricket for an indefinite period due to stress related injury on his back. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Mohammed Shami as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement in India's ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad. Shami has reached Australia and will link up with the squad in Brisbane ahead of the warm-up matches," BCCI secretary Jay Shah was quoted in a press release.

Bangladesh Limp Into T20 World Cup After Troubled Build-Up

Bangladesh are in the T20 World Cup main draw this year but face another winless tournament after if they can't recover from a troubled build-up. Selectors called a truce with star player Shakib Al Hasan and invited him to resume the captaincy in August after he ended a controversial partnership with an offshore gambling website. But his return made little difference in that month's Asia Cup, with the team crashing out after losses to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka.

While plying his trade for the SunRisers Hyderabad, Umran scalped 22 wickets from just 14 matches. He was then awarded with a debut India call-up for the T20I series against Ireland. However, after playing just three matches, he was dropped from the team. Umran was also left out of India's T20 World Cup squad. Speaking on Umran, former Australia pacer Brett Lee feels that the young pacer should've been included in India's squad for the showpiece event.
