NEW DELHI: The worst fears of Team India regarding Jasprit Bumrah has come true. In a major blow to India's campaign in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, Bumrah has been ruled out of the mega tournament due to a back injury.
TOI has learnt that Mohammed Shami is most likely to replace Bumrah in the 15-member squad for the World Cup while Mohammed Siraj will travel to Australia as a standby. As reported by TOI on September 30, the choice was between Deepak Chahar and Shami if Bumrah eventually failed to make the cut.
