Jasprit Bumrah is gutted that he will have to miss the T20 World Cup due to a back injury, but the star India pacer will cheer for his team as he goes through his rehabilitation process.
“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. As I recover, I’ll be cheering on the team through their campaign in Australia,” Bumrah tweeted on Tuesday.
The BCCI on Monday ruled Bumrah out of the ICC event, dealing a massive setback to the Indian team.

Bumrah’s absence will certainly affect India’s chances in the marquee event in Australia as death bowling still remains a grey area. The BCCI was awaiting medical reports while the pacer did his rehab at the National Cricket Academy, but it was a foregone conclusion that he would be out for months.
He was initially ruled out of the ongoing three-match T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury. Bumrah has a history of back problems due to his slinging unorthodox front-on action which puts a lot of load on his back.
The BCCI is yet to name Bumrah’s replacement.
