Due to a back ailment, Jasprit Bumrah, the leader of Team India’s fast bowling attack, will not be participating in the forthcoming Asia Cup in 2022. Salman Butt, who served as captain of Pakistan in the past, feels that India would be unable to compete effectively in the multi-nation event without the famous bowler.
In a video that he posted on his YouTube account, he discussed how Bumrah has established himself as a successful campaigner in Twenty20 cricket. He implied that the Men in Blue will suffer a significant setback as a result of the right-armer’s absence since he is one of the players who has the most effect on the team.

What did Salman Butt say about Jasprit Bumrah?
Butt elaborated:Â “Jasprit Bumrah will undoubtedly be missed by India. When a bowler like Bumrah is not available, it does make a significant difference in the game. He bowls at a very high level and also has a lot of experience under his belt. He is a match-winner because of his outstanding bowling performance in the last overs of the contest, as well as his highly successful performance with the new ball.”

The white-ball portion of India’s tour of England was the last time anybody saw Jasprit Bumrah in action. This took place a month ago. On the other hand, he was forced to sit out the third and final one-day international of the series because of a back spasm.
During India’s just finished tour of the West Indies, the 28-year-old was given a break to get some relaxation. Before the critically vital Twenty20 World Cup in 2022, Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team will be keeping their fingers crossed that the speedster can get back into full fitness.
In addition, Salman Butt said that India’s younger pacers now have a considerable amount of experience playing international cricket. He also emphasised the way that the administration of the team has provided them with constant opportunities.
According to the former cricket player, India’s fresh crop of fast bowlers will be high on confidence as a result of the team’s recent success in their white-ball assignments.Â
