India’s great pacesetter Jasprit Bumrah, out of action since September 2022, is on track to make a full recovery. Bumrah has had a few injuries this year and it was just before the T20 World Cup that news broke that he would be sidelined for a long period. The pacemaker, who is currently at the National Cricket Academy and in rehab, shared a video of one of his training sessions, giving fans some hope for his comeback in the near future.
Bumrah is not part of India’s squad for the New Zealand tour. He has also not been named in the squad for the Bangladesh series. Widely regarded as one of the best all-format pacers in the game, the 28-year-old is still in the early stages of his rehabilitation. While there is no official confirmation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the pacemaker could be sidelined for at least a few more months.
On Friday, Bumrah posted a motivational video of him undergoing some training sessions, with the caption, “Never easy, but always worth it”.

In the video, he could be seen doing some running exercises.
Bumrah had missed both the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup this year. In his absence, the Indian bowling unit suffered a lot. In fact, Bumrah’s absence has been cited as one of the main reasons behind the team’s underperformance in the two multi-team tournaments.
It is expected that the BCCI will take some prudent measures to ensure that the player recovers well and remains fit for this year’s ODI World Cup in India. Considering Bumrah’s status in the Indian team, the board would not be happy this time if he missed another major tournament.
