BCCI President Sourav Ganguly is not ready to give up on injured India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah turning up in Australia to participate in the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
Bumrah was rushed to the NCA in Bengaluru from Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday to undergo scans for his back injury
Bumrah is not out of the World Cup yet,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Ganguly as saying
Ganguly's comments come on the back of a BCCI media release earlier in the day which stated that Bumrah had “sustained” a back injury and was being monitored by their medical team at the NCA
Mohammed Siraj was named as the replacement for injured Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa
India is now awaiting the health update of Hooda and Jasprit Bumrah, who are both receiving treatment for back problems at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru
Hooda was declared ineligible for the South Africa series, but Bumrah was only dropped on Wednesday, the day before the first T20I after he reported a back injury
At the ICC competition, India is in Group 2 with Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, and two qualifiers
