India's Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of Asia Cup due to back injury

Bumrah will not be able to participate in the upcoming Asia Cup due to a back injury.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Thursday that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup due to a back injury. The injury occurred during India's recent tour of England, and Bumrah has not been able to recover in time for the tournament.

Bumrah is one of the world's leading fast bowlers, and his absence will be a major blow to India's chances of winning the Asia Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates from August 27 to September 11, and India is one of the favourites to win.

Bumrah's injury is a major setback for India.

In addition to Bumrah, India will also be without the services of all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, who is also nursing a back injury. These two injuries will leave India's bowling attack weakened, and it is unclear who will replace Bumrah and Ashwin in the team.

Despite the injuries, India remains one of the favourites to win the Asia Cup. The team has a strong batting line-up led by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and the bowling attack still has some quality in the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami.

Here is a summary of the main points:

• Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a back injury.
• Bumrah is one of the world's leading fast bowlers, and his absence will be a major blow to India's chances of winning the tournament.
• India will also be without the services of all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, who is also nursing a back injury.
• Despite the injuries, India remains one of the favourites to win the Asia Cup.

Conclusion

India will be hoping to win the Asia Cup for the first time since 2018. The tournament will be a good test of their strength ahead of the T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia later this year.
