On 19 February 2023, the Indian Cricket Board announced the squads for the remaining two Tests and the upcoming ODI series against Australia. However, Jasprit Bumrah again missed out on any squads. He is currently nursing the back injury that prevented him from playing the 20-20 World Cup 2022 for the Men in Blue.

Reports also suggested that the pacer might have played two practice games at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) over the last 10 days. But, the NCA managers have not issued an all-clear for him to get selected for team India.

Hence, reports have confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah will be in action again directly in the Indian T20 League 2023 for the Mumbai franchise.

After winning the home ODI series against the Kiwis, Rohit Sharma said that they don't want to take any risk with him. He said: "About Bumrah, I'm not too sure at the moment, of course for the first two Test matches he's not going to be available. I'm expecting that; not expecting but hoping he plays the next two Test matches but again we don't want to take any risk with him. The back injuries are always critical. We have got lot of cricket coming up after that as well, we will see, and we will monitor. We are in constant touch with doctors and physios at NCA and we are constantly hearing from them."
