The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president recently made a statement regarding Asia Cup 2023, which is making headlines. Jay Shah said that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup.

This announcement has met with serious criticism from ex-cricketers. Many former Pakistani cricketers are expressing their opinion on this statement, and some have gone as far as boycotting Sunday’s T20 World Cup match in Melbourne.

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Kamal has gone a step further and asked for a complete boycott against India, including the upcoming T20 World Cup clash between Pakistan and India on Sunday.

Jasprit Bumrah; fast bowler for the Men in Blue has officially been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, confirmed by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) on Monday, October 3. The absence of the premier pacer’s took a big toll as the Indian bowling department is struggling.

The eighth edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is a multi-nation tournament, it is scheduled to kick-off from October 16th to November 13th in Australia.

The fast bowler; Jasprit Bumrah had suffered a back injury ahead of the Asia Cup 2022 that ruled him out of the T20 World Cup 2022.

He made a comeback to the side in the second T20I game of the three-match series against Australia. The pace spearhead was expected to feature in the three-match T20I series against South Africa, but he got ruled out of the series due to a back injury and Mohammed Siraj was named as his replacement.

After Bumrah missed out on the game against South Africa, reports emerged that the pacer has suffered a severe injury that will rule him out of the ICC Men’s T20 World 2022 and now the BCCI has officially confirmed the development.

In an official media release, the BCCI stated that the decision has been made to rule Bumrah out of the marquee tournament following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists. Also, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will soon name Bumrah’s replacement in the World Cup squad.

“The BCCI Medical team has ruled out Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists.

“Bumrah was initially ruled out from the ongoing Mastercard 3-match T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury.

“The BCCI will be naming a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the squad for the marquee tournament soon,” BCCI said in an official media release.

India have been dealt a massive blow going into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 with Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the tournament with a back injury.

The 28-year-old had picked up a back injury earlier last month, which had ruled him out of the Asia Cup. He returned for the three-match T20I series against Australia, which India won 2-1, and picked up a wicket in two matches.

He was also named part of India’s squad for the subsequent white-ball series against South Africa, but he did not play the first T20I in Thiruvananthapuram after he complained of backache. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment after he was ruled out of the South Africa T20Is.

The BCCI on Monday, 3 October confirmed the pacer has been ruled out of the marquee tournament.

He is the second senior player to miss the T20 World Cup for India with an injury after Ravindra Jadeja, who is recovering from knee surgery.

India had a poor showing in last year’s T20 World Cup, failing to reach the semi-finals after they finished third in Group 2. Bumrah had a lukewarm tournament, picking up seven wickets in five matches at 13.57.

Bumrah’s loss is a huge blow to India’s hopes of improving on their showing last year. He is India’s third-highest wicket-taker in men’s T20Is with 70 scalps in 60 matches at 20.22, and his skill and accuracy with the yorker, in particular, will be particularly missed in the death overs.

Shane Watson, on The ICC Review, had stressed how big a blow Bumrah’s absence could be.

“Honestly, I think it’s going to have a huge impact on India’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup,” Watson said. “He is one of the best bowlers in the world and India in particular, their fast bowlers, he is the main guy who can take wickets with the brand new ball but also is an incredible defensive bowler as well at the back end of the game.”

India have two fast bowlers in their reserves – Mohammad Shami and Deepak Chahar – and either of those two could be named as the replacement, although no official announcement has come.

Watson, though, chose Mohammed Siraj as someone who could potentially replace Bumrah.
