Despite bowling six overs in two T20Is against Australia, Bumrah’s back issues resurfaced, leading to a significant injury. The severity of the injury eventually necessitated surgery in New Zealand in March. However, even after almost four months, Bumrah’s future remains uncertain, with no clear timeline for his return.

Recently, a photo circulated on the internet featuring several injured Indian players at the NCA (National Cricket Academy), including Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Mohammed Siraj. Notably, Bumrah was absent from the frame. Reports suggest that a select few, such as VVS Laxman, are closely monitoring Bumrah’s progress, and updates on his recovery will only be made public once those involved are satisfied with his condition.

While the news of Bumrah bowling at the NCA is encouraging, it is crucial for the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) to exercise caution and avoid rushing him back prematurely, as this could potentially exacerbate his injury. Renowned former strength and conditioning coach of the Indian team, Ramji Srinivasan, strongly advises providing Bumrah with ample time for complete recovery, even if it means him missing important tournaments like the World Cup.

The priority should be Bumrah’s long-term fitness and ensuring that he is fully healed before making a comeback. Rushing him back into action could not only jeopardize his well-being but also hinder his performance on the field. Patience and a comprehensive rehabilitation process are essential to ensure that Bumrah returns to the game at his best.

“For an injury of this nature, it is not wise to set any timeline as constant monitoring is necessary. But it can be said that Bumrah is recovering well and he has bowled seven overs at NCA nets. It is a steady increase in his workload from the light workouts and bowling sessions of the initial period. He will play a few practice matches (at NCA) next month, and there will be a close assessment of his fitness then,” a source tracking the development told PTI.

“He should not be hurried. Playing practice matches at the NCA is a good step as it will help tune his body to the demands of a match. But he should be made to play in some actual (domestic) matches before bringing him to top level cricket. The demands of international cricket are different and the body should be absolutely ready to take that amount of workload. Recovering from stress fracture is a delicate exercise and Bumrah should be allowed maximum recovery time,” he told the news agency.

As fans and cricket enthusiasts, we eagerly await updates on Bumrah’s progress, hoping to see him back in action soon. However, the focus should remain on his health, allowing him the necessary time to recuperate and regain his formidable presence on the cricket field.
