According to a report, Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s back injury and recovery will be kept a secret, even from the national selectors, and only National Cricket Academy (NCA) director VVS Laxman will be informed of the specifics.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot many in the BCCI (Board of Control for\u00a0Cricket in India) are aware of his injury. Only VVS Laxman has been assigned to speak to him and the physios. Even the selection committee has been told that they will be informed about Bumrah\u2019s actual injury and his rehab details in due course,\u201d a BCCI source told The Indian Express.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis back is in a fragile state right now. Besides, last time Bumrah\u2019s return was hastened. Since he hadn\u2019t fully recovered, he had discomfort while bowling on his return. This time, we are more conservative as a wrong call might even result in a career-threatening injury,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n
With the ICC World Cup only a few months away, injuries to several key players will worry India. Shreyas Iyer, a crucial batter, recently fell ill with a bad back. He will have surgery, which could keep him out for five months. Rishabh Pant, a wicketkeeper-batsman, was involved in a car accident towards the end of last year and will be absent for an indefinite period<\/p>\n
