The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists.

The BCCI disclosed that they would announce Bumrah's replacement for the World Cup squad in the coming days. Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Shami, who are currently in the reserves, are the favorites to claim the vacant spot. The statement added:

"The BCCI will be naming a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the squad for the marquee tournament soon."
