The Indian fast pacer Jasprit Bumrah will ultimately be absent in the upcoming edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, commencing next month in Australia. Team India's all-format bowler Bumrah had to sit out of the remainder of the three-match T20I series between India and South Africa because of his back injury. Rohit Sharma's squad is tormented with the dual injury loss as both Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are going to miss the flight to Australia.
“If Bumrah is not fit, you must bring Deepak Chahar to the squad because he is on the standby list. You need players who can cope with the pressure of playing in a multi-national tournament. Thus, you have to keep playing the full squad members because it’s tough to say who might get injured. So, it’s good that Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar have got opportunities," ex-Indian selector Karim has commented on the entire situation.
