The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday revealed that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is in the final stage of rehabilitation while Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have made it to the nets and undergoing fitness and strength drills.
BCCI released an official statement to provide a medical update on the five players who have been out of action for the past few months. They are undergoing rehabilitation at The National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 owing to his injury and missed the ICC Men`s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. He also missed the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 where he represents Mumbai Indians.
Prasidh Krishna, who has not played competitive cricket since India`s ODI tour of Zimbabwe last August, was selected for India A`s white-ball series against New Zealand ‘A’ in September. He suffered an injury after being named for the series. On further examination of the injury, it surfaced that the bowler had a stress fracture.
"Mr Jasprit Bumrah and Mr Prasidh Krishna: The two fast bowlers are in the final stages of their rehab and are bowling with full intensity in the nets. The duo will now play some practice games, which the NCA will organise. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them following the practice games," BCCI said.
Opening batter KL Rahul continues to recover from an injury sustained during the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) and is not part of the Indian team.
