As of now, Bumrah is recovering from a lower-back injury and hence will not be seen in action during the India vs West Indies series. He is expected to make a comeback in India's Tour of New Zealand next year. Indian team management will also wish for the pacer's speedy recovery as the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 is less than a year away and Bumrah will certainly be critical for India's success in the gala-tournament.
