Jasprit Bumrah just can't stop being in the news. Yesterday, it was due to a minor stress fracture in his lower back which has ruled him out for the three-Test series against South Africa starting October 2. Bumrah's rapid rise — the first Asian pacer to take a fifer in South Africa, England, Australia and West Indies — has made him one of the most feared bowlers in the world. His injury was detected at the preliminary stage while doing a routine radiological screening. Umesh Yadav has taken his place in the Test squad.

Bumrah was looking forward to playing his maiden Test in India. That has now been put on hold. Reports suggested that Bumrah could be out of action for at least two months. While an injury to a pace spearhead is never good news, experts are not fretting over it as India are playing in home conditions and are too strong to beat.
