‘World cup ki khufia taiyari’ – Fans react as reports of Jasprit Bumrah’s injury status ‘to be kept secret’ surface

Jasprit Bumrah’s unavailability for the Indian team since September 2022 has been a big cause of worry for the management. The pacer has missed some crucial white-ball events for India, including the Asia Cup 2022, the 20-20 World Cup 2022, and the ODI series against Australia, all of which India has lost.

Bumrah has also been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League and the Test Championship Final. However, there has been no official statement given by the Indian Cricket Board. Now, there are reports that Bumrah’s injury status has been kept a secret.

According to a report in the Indian Express, many Indian Cricket Board members are unaware of the situation. Only VVS Laxman and the physios have access to him. Even the selection committee has been told that Bumrah’s injury details will be revealed later.

Bumrah’s return was rushed last year in preparation for the 20-20 World Cup, but the fast bowler suffered even more because he hadn’t played competitive cricket in more than six months. In New Zealand, he underwent successful surgery. He will return to the NCA soon, with the Indian Cricket Board developing a recovery strategy for him ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Bumrah last played for India in October and was unable to compete in the Asia Cup or the 20-20 World Cup last year. He was named to the Sri Lanka squads, but his back problem flared up again. India’s spearhead is currently undergoing surgery in New Zealand. He will be unable to compete in the Indian T20 League 2023, the World Test Championship Final, or the Asia Cup 2023. The Indian Board is eager to get Bumrah ready for the 2023 World Cup at home, but according to recent reports, he may be out for the majority of the year.
