(UTV|COLOMBO) – Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the Indian Premier League with a back issue, Cricket Australia has confirmed.
Cummins had been bought by the Mumbai Indians for $A1.05 million, but missed the opening match of the tournament, a narrow defeat to the Chennai Super Kings.
The 24-year-old has “bone oedema in his vertebrae” – in other words, swelling in the joint, which is not the more serious stress fracture.
