Just before the first T20 match between India and South Africa, Bumrah complained of back pain and had been ruled out of the match at Thiruvananthapuram. He also missed the Asia Cup 2022 due to his back problem and made a comeback in the last two T20Is against Australia. 

BCCI on Friday announced Mohd. Siraj as replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa. 

Bumrah is the second valuable player to be ruled out after Ravindra Jadeja who is also recuperating from knee surgery.
