Now, he is set to miss the upcoming WTC final for India also. But, now reports have come out that the Indian Cricket Board are confident that Jasprit Bumrah will be fit and available for the upcoming World Cup 2023 in India.

Jasprit Bumrah has been the ace pacer for team India and Mumbai Indians in the last few years

Before this IPL edition, Australia came to India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and a three-match ODI series. In the first two Tests, Bumrah was not named to the squad. But, there were reports that Jasprit Bumrah might get included in the last two Tests. Regarding that after the NZ series, team India skipper, Rohit Sharma said: "Not too sure about Bumrah, I am hoping he plays next (last) two Tests (against Australia), we don't want to take any risks with him as back injuries are always critical. We have a lot of cricket coming back after that also. We are in constant touch with physios and doctors in NCA. The medical team will give him as much time as he wants".

Recently, after losing the IPL season opener, MI skipper Rohit Sharma said: “From the last six to eight months I am used to playing without Jasprit Bumrah. Of course this is a different setup but someone needs to put their hand up and step up. We can't keep dwelling on it. Injuries are not in our control, we can't do much about it. The other guys in the setup are quite talented as well. We need to give them that support”.
