Jasprit Bumrah’s injury has taken Indian Cricket by storm. As reported he has a back stress fracture which would rule him out for quite a long time. BCCI is doing its best to make sure that Bumrah takes a part in T20 World Cup 2022 as he is a vital part of the team and it won’t be wrong to say that he is the ‘X’ factor of Team India.

Bumrah was expected to take a part in South Africa T20I Series as what could have been his last T20I Assignment before T20 World Cup. Siraj has been named the replacement of Bumrah in the ongoing T20I Series against South Africa. It would be interesting to see whether Siraj gets a game as he has shown a lot of potential.
