The star pacer of team India, Jasprit Bumrah, has left for Mumbai in order to attend the birth of his first child and is going to miss the IND vs. NEP Asia Cup 2023 match, which is scheduled to be played on Monday, i.e., September 4. The ace pacer will miss the clash against Nepal as Bumrah and his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, are expecting a baby soon.

Bumrah was part of the Indian side taking on arch-rivals Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener. However, the rain did not permit the match to be completed, as Rohit Sharma and co. could only bat. On Monday, Team India needs to win this game to qualify for the Super 4 stages of the marquee event.

Bumrah will be fully available for Team India's next match in the Super Four stages. Meanwhile, senior pacer Mohammed Shami is expected to replace the MI pacer. Shami was not part of the playing XI against Pakistan. All-rounder Shardul Thakur was given preference over Shami, but he failed to give any results with the bat.
