Jasprit Bumrah to Consult Three Doctors in The UK: BCCI

New Delhi: India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set to travel to the UK to consult specialists after he suffered a lower back stress fracture.

While Jasprit Bumrah has already been ruled out till the Bangladesh series in November, the team management doesn't wish to take any chance and want to consult the best.

Speaking to IANS, a senior board functionary confirmed the development and said that Jasprit Bumrah will be in the UK for a week to consult the doctors and take the necessary steps.

"Yes, he will be going to the UK in the first week of October and will be accompanied by Ashish Kaushik. They will look to get the best possible opinion on the matter. They will be checking with three doctors and the next plan of action will be decided after that," the functionary said.

Earlier, speaking to IANS, sources in the team management had said that the Bangladesh series is not in the radar for Bumrah as skipper Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri want him to recover completely and return to action as India also have an eye on the 2020 World T20 in Australia next year and the pacer will be a vital cog in the line-up.
