Bumrah to miss the World Cup Final and IPL?
According to rumours from earlier this week, the player just completed match-simulation workloads at NCA in Bangalore. And that sparked a conversation aboutHe might appear before the IPL in 2023.
Bumrah’s absence from the IPL would be a significant loss for the Mumbai Indians, who placed last in the IPL in 2022. Jofra Archer, another top pacer, will be back for MI’s camp, giving them a boost after missing the entire previous season due to injury.
