Bumrah was initially ruled out of the ongoing T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday (October 3) released a statement to confirm the development.
“The BCCI Medical team has ruled out Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists,” the board said in a media release.

The Chetan Sharma-led selection has named Mohammed Siraj as Bumrah’s replacement for the last two T20Is versus South Africa.
“The BCCI will be naming a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the squad for the marquee tournament soon,” the press release further stated.
