“Jasprit Bumrah complained of back pain during India’s practice session on Tuesday. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him. He is ruled out of the first #INDvSA T20I," BCCI tweeted.  Bumrah also missed the Asia Cup due to his back problem and made a comeback in the last two T20Is against Australia.

 A senior BCCI official told PTI, "Bumrah is not going to play the World T20 for sure. He has a serious back condition. It's a stress fracture and he could be out for a period of six months".

The 35-year-old said that Bumrah sustained a niggle in the practice session. Since Bumrah will not be taking part in the T20 World Cup,  the Indian team management is anticipated to pick a player between Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar to fill his void.
