Jasprit Bumrah experienced back spasms and went for scans, call to be taken on his bowling on how he feels on Sunday

But there are clouds looming over the fitness of Bumrah in the ongoing game. The fast bowler felt discomfort while bowling on Day Two of the ongoing Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It all started during the first session when the pacer went off the field for 30 minutes.

Bumrah, although returned for bowling in the second innings but bowled just one over. He was down with speed as he was bowling in the mid-120s. The fast bowler then walked off the field and didn't return to the ground as he was seen going for scans in the car.

It was later revealed that Jasprit Bumrah had experienced back spasms and went for precautionary scans. There were reports which claimed that he might come to bat and his availability for bowling will depend on how he will feel tomorrow morning.
