Jasprit Bumrah begins rehab at NCA, Shreyas Iyer’s back surgery scheduled next week | Cricket News – Times of India


After a successful lower back surgery in New Zealand, India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is now in rehabilitation mode at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, the BCCI said in a medical update on Saturday.
In an additional update on Shreyas Iyer, the BCCI statement said the middle-order batter will undergo back surgery next week.
Out of action since September 2022, Bumrah missed the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup and it remains to be seen if he will be fit for India’s World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in two months’ time.
“Bumrah underwent surgery in New Zealand on his lower back, which was successful and he remains pain-free,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
“The fast bowler was advised by the specialist to start his rehab six weeks after the surgery and accordingly, Bumrah has commenced his rehab management at the NCA in Bengaluru from Friday.”
As for Iyer, who is the regular skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders but missed the ongoing tournament to treat his lower back issue, he will be operated upon next week.
“He will remain under the surgeon’s care for two weeks and will return to the NCA after that for rehabilitation,” the statement further read.
