NEW DELHI : Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss next month's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, local media reported on Friday, after the Indian bowler was ruled out of the ongoing home series against South Africa with a back injury.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee on Friday named Mohammed Siraj as replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa. The BCCI made the official announcement and they also provided an update on the extent of Bumrah's injury. "Bumrah has sustained a back injury and is currently under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team," said the Indian cricket board in an official media release.
Bumrah was on Thursday ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup due to a back stress fracture. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee named Mohd. Siraj as replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in the statement on Friday. "Bumrah has sustained a back injury and is currently under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team." The 28-year-old Siraj, a right-arm pacer, has so far played in five T20Is and picked up five wickets from them. His last T20I match was against Sri Lanka at Dharamsala in February this year.
Ravindra Jadeja and Sanjay Manjrekar have come a long way after the 2019 World Cup, and the duo have seemingly patched up. During the 2019 50-over tournament, former India batter Manjrekar had termed Jadeja as "bits and pieces" cricketer and it was then that Jadeja got miffed and he took to Twitter to say: "Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea. @sanjaymanjrekar."
