Bumrah had already been ruled out of the currently undergoing India-South Africa T20I series owing to stress fracture in the lower back.
“We have been told that his injury is not looking good at the moment and it looks like he won’t be travelling to Australia with the Indian team. The medical team will soon submit a detailed report,” a BCCI official had confirmed to The Indian Express a few days ago.
The 28-year-old had only recently returned to the India squad following two months off receiving treatment and rehabilitation from the same injury that he picked up during the India tour of England back in July this year.

Even though Bumrah was replaced Mohammed Siraj in the squad for the South Africa T20I series, BCCI wrote in their release that Bumrah’s replacement for the upcoming World Cup in Australia would be named soon.
Mohammed Shami, who was named among the four stand players for the tournament, is likely to step up. Deepak Chahar is the other pacer among the stand es India can opt for.
