Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of Indian men's cricket team for the upcoming T20 world cup due to an injury. "The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists," the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.
Bumrah is battling a back injury and had to sit out in the ongoing 3-match T20I series against South Africa as well.
A replacement for the 28-year-old has not been announced yet. The T20 world cup will begin on 16 October in Australia.
