Jasprit Bumrah has been advised bed rest at home and will remain on rest until the swelling subsides. He returned from Australia last week and is on rest but his situation is not well right now. 

Jasprit Bumrah has to report to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, but the date is not yet decided. 

A source said that “Bumrah could go to the Centre of Excellence next week but right now there is no fixed date yet. He has been advised to rest at home to help the muscles recover and the swallowing to subside”.

As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has swelling in his back, and at this stage, he will not back to the field. Sources clear that, there is no clarity on his exact diagnosis but if it’s something more than just a swelling then his chance to get back in cricket is impossible. 

The source added to their word, “Bed rest doesn’t sound good. I hope it’s not a disc bulge or a muscle swelling which is of a higher grade. The approach has to be similar to him, wrap him in cotton wool and preserve the talent like him”.
