Injured Jasprit Bumrah out of T20 World Cup

NEW DELHI: India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was on Thursday ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to a back stress fracture, dealing a massive blow to team's chances at the ICC mega-event starting next month in Australia.

A BCCI official said that Bumrah will be forced out of action for nearly six months due to the back injury.

Bumrah, who played the second and third T20 against Australia, was ruled out of the opening T20I against South Africa in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday after he complained of back pain ahead of the match. Agencies
