Jasprit Bumrah to be ruled out from Asia Cup due to back injury

Senior fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is set to be ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup T20 tournament. Bumrah will not be part of the Indian playing XI due to a back injury, which would require some time to heal.

The Indian squad for the continental championship will be selected on Monday, but it is still not



clear if the official announcement will happen on the day.

"Jasprit Bumrah has a back injury and will not play in the Asia Cup. He is our main bowler and we would like him to be back in action before T20 World Cup. We can't risk him in Asia Cup and the injury could aggravate," a senior BCCI official told PTI.
