Mumbai Indians (MI) are playing without their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, and will keep playing without him, as the bowler is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence (formerly known as NCZ) in Bengaluru. Bumrah’s return to the team seems to have been delayed as his injury has turned out to be a bit serious than expected.
While Jasprit Bumrah is fit and injury-free, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not want to rush his return to the field. According to a report by Times of India, Bumrah is not expected to play any of the five Test matches in England as well.
“Bumrah’s injury is a bit more serious. The medical team wants to ensure he doesn’t suffer a stress fracture. Bumrah himself is being careful. He is bowling at the CoE but it could take longer to get back in full swing. No definite timeline has been set yet, but one hopes he gets back by mid-April. Akash Deep too hopes to get back by April 10,” a BCCI source told the English daily.
Bumrah had suffered a lower back injury during the Sydney Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and is yet to mark his comeback in competitive cricket.
