Mumbai Indians’ star pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s return has been delayed as BCCI remains cautious over his back injury. A BCCI source told The Times of India, “Bumrah’s injury is serious, and we don’t want to risk a stress fracture.” The pacer, recovering since injuring his back in the Sydney Test, has resumed bowling at Bengaluru’s CoE but isn’t at full intensity. Mumbai Indians were expecting him by April 1, but no timeline is set. Former Kiwi bowler Shane Bond warned against over-bowling him, stating he’s "on the borderline of a fracture."
