The premier Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah has been officially ruled out of T20 World Cup 2022 as BCCI confirmed on Monday. The BCCI confirmed the news through an official press release. It needs to be noted that the dependable bowler left the Indian squad during the ongoing T20I series against South Africa and went to the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru to recover from his back injury.
There were certain rumors about Jasprit Bumrah getting ruled out of the marquee event in Australia this year and BCCI on Monday confirmed the same. The absence of the premier pacer comes as a big blow for India, whose pacers are already not in their groove ahead of the T20 extravaganza.

@Jaspritbumrah93 now will get enough time to recover for the IPL. I guess he should retire from international cricket. 😓 #JaspritBumrah #INDvSA #T20WorldCup

Get ready for 2023 WorldCup BOOM BOOM! You have a lot to makeup for.
This news is very much expected yet both Ganguly and Dravid gave misleading statements that his injury is not confirmed 🤷♂️ WHY ? @BCCI transparency is annoying sometimes #JaspritBumrah #Bumrah https://t.co/FNRt8FvO4l

I will go with @MdShami11 as @Jaspritbumrah93 replacement
Pace & accuracy do matter in #Australia pitches
With very less offer on swing it's difficult to get #Chahar as replacement 🥹#T20WorldCup #IndianCricketTeam#JaspritBumrah
