Bumrah was injured in the Sydney Test
Bumrah had suffered a back muscle strain during the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series. He felt unwell on the fifth day of the Sydney Test, due to which he had to leave the field midway and undergo a scan. Although the BCCI has not made public the full severity of his injury, Bumrah was seen in trouble while bowling on two days during the match. Due to the absence of Bumrah, India had to lose this match by six wickets.
