Will be gutted if this does not happen next year. It would have been a battle of ages if it was to happen last season.

Again, is this a work related injury or not?

Hard luck to him. I wonder how much you could alter his action too. As others have said, a longer run-up may help, and depending on what exactly the cause is, it would be better than altering his action.
But when I look at the thread title, the 'RIP' seems just a bit odd.

It would be very uncommon for a guy in his 20s to have a back fracture outside of sports (you'd see it in things like car accidents or some very serious disease processes).

Can’t say for sure, but it’s far more common amongst fast bowlers than battered husbands.

Oh, can't it be an outlier in the case battered husbands?

Poor bugger may have ended up with a stress fracture a bit sooner if it had.
I hope he doesn't' need to tweak his action too much. The variations in bowling actions is one of the more interesting things about watching cricket imho, and when I first saw him I genuinely wondered how he bowled as quick as he did with that action. I hope he's back soon. Bloke's a champion.

It's going to be rough when he gets banned for a year or two for joining the ICL 2.0

India has always been a batting country and all cricket followers always looked up to the batsmen. Bumrah is one of the few who made the fans realize that watching Indian pace bowlers is awesome too. I hope he comes back strongly, like Smith.
Perhaps the run up is causing this? Too much explosiveness going on. Needs to lengthen the run up and build a little more momentum and create more space in the action if that's possible whilst still maintaining the same pace and bite .. it may not be in which case he will stay injury prone from now onwards. Sort of what I'm getting to is that I hope Bumrah isn't going to go down the path of players like Mark Wood and hopefully we haven't seen the best of Bumrah now as a bowler.

Well written.
Back in 2007, Sreesanth brought great enthusiasm with him to the cricket world. Him knocking out Hayden's stump in the inaugural T20 wc still vivid on my mind.

This is just depressing. I really love watching him bowl. Hope he comes back strong.

I think I also have a stress fracture in my back. Every morning I'm waking up with pain.

How long is your run-up?

Fifteen paces from start of run up to the back line of the bowling crease. When I'm bowling offies, it's four and a half strides..and a Dean Headley jump.
