Former Pakistani spinner fears that ‘injured’ Jasprit Bumrah might miss T20 World Cup later this year
Former Pakistani spinner fears that ‘injured’ Jasprit Bumrah might miss T20 World Cup later this year: This year’s iteration of the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup will begin approximately two months from now and will be held in Australia. The tournament is slated to take place in 2022.
Ahead of the major championship competition, India will also compete in the Twenty20 Internationals that are part of the Asia Cup. This competition will act as an excellent warmup for Rohit Sharma and the rest of his teammates.
However, India’s preparation for the Asia Cup and the Twenty20 World Cup was dealt a significant blow on Monday (August 8), when it was announced that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah would not be participating in the upcoming Asia Cup due to a back injury.
This news was a major setback for India’s preparations for both tournaments. The loss of Bumrah from India’s roster for the Asia Cup is a significant one given that he is now one of the finest bowlers across all formats in the sport of cricket played around the world.
India’s prospects of winning the Twenty20 World Cup may be significantly hampered, however, if he is unable to return to full fitness before the tournament begins. And Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistan spinner, is concerned that the Indian pacer may also be unable to compete in the Twenty20 World Cup due to his “prolonged” injury.
“There is no question that Jasprit Bumrah is a bowler of world-class calibre who bowls fantastic yorkers. However, due to the fact that the severity of his back condition has increased slightly, I am concerned that he may not be able to participate in the Twenty20 World Cup later this year. I’ve heard there are questions about his ability to continue working.
We are aware that Bumrah is prone to injuries as a result of the action he has. And things are just going to get worse. And this is exactly what has taken place. There is a possibility that he will be unable to play in the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. This is unfavourable information for India, “Kaneria mentioned this on his official channel on YouTube.
On the other hand, he stated that there are a few talented young players who are ready to step up in the event that Bumrah is unable to make it on time. The young player Arshdeep Singh, who had an outstanding performance against the West Indies and was awarded Player of the Series, was singled out for praise by the speaker.
“The fact that India has used other bowlers in his place is a positive development, however. And they have identified Arshdeep Singh as having assumed his role. In the latter overs of the game, he bowls quite well, and he will play an important part there. Recently, he was named the player of the series against West Indies, and he has delivered anytime India has needed him to.
In addition to that, they have portrayed notable characters such as Prasidh Krishna, Harshal Patel, Umran Malik, and Avesh Khan. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has already arrived at the location “Kaneria added.
