Bumrah won't play in the World T20, a senior BCCI official told PTI. He has a severe back problem. Because of the stress fracture, he might be out for six months.
The 35-year-old claimed that during the practice, Burma sustained a niggle. The management of the Indian side is expected to choose a player from Mohammed Shami or Deepak Chahar to fill Bumrah's absence from the T20 World Cup.
Bumrah, who is recovering from knee surgery, is the second important player to be missing out T20 World Cup following Ravindra Jadeja.
