Jasprit Bumrah, according to a report in Cricbuzz, underwent a successful back surgery in New Zealand. It is expected that the pacer will take about 6 months to recover and finally hit the nets.
This essentially rules him out of the WTC final and Asia Cup, but he may just be ready for the World Cup, which India is set to host in October-November. Earlier, The medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the managers of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) selected a surgeon in New Zealand after consulting Shane Bond, who is believed to have recommended the surgeon's name.
Jasprit Bumrah will have a very key role to play in the World Cup as far as India's hopes to win the title is concerned. This has been a very long wait for Bumrah who has tried to make a comeback after suffering a back injury in August last year. The Mumbai Indians speedster played his previous two T20Is against Australia on September 23 and 25.
