Guwahati: Amid the reports of Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid remains ‘hopeful’ of him making it to the final squad.
While talking on the eve of the second T20 game against South Africa, Dravid claimed that “I have not gone deeply into the medical reports. I rely on the experts to tell me what it is. They ruled him out for this series and he is being assessed. We will know in due course what happens in future. Obviously, till he is completely ruled out, till I get official confirmation that he is ruled out, we will always be hopeful.”
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was earlier ruled out of the ongoing T20 Series against South Africa after sustaining a back injury.
Dravid further added that “He has gone to the NCA and we are waiting for the official confirmation on next steps.”
Mohammed Siraj was added to the squad as a replacement for Bumrah for the remainder of the series. Currently, the team is waiting for the health update of Deepak Hooda and Jasprit Bumrah, both going through treatment at the National Cricket Academy.
