Jasprit Bumrah once thought of leaving India and playing for Canadian cricket team, was stopped by mother

 In an interview with his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, Bumrah disclosed, there was some discussion on the now-gone possibility of the fast bowler relocating to Canada.

If Jasprit Bumrah's mother hadn't stopped him then he could well have been a Canadian cricket team player rather than India's pace spearhead. The right-arm fast bowler said after studies his Plan B was to move to Canada where his maternal uncle stays.

In an interview with his wife, Sanjana Ganesan on Jio Cinema, Bumrah disclosed, there was some discussion on the now-gone possibility of the fast bowler relocating to Canada. "You wanted to go to Canada and set up a new life there?" Sanjana, the fast bowler's wife, asked Bumrah.

"We have had these conversations before. Every boy wants to make it big and play cricket. Every street has 25 players who want to play for India. You have to have a backup plan. Our relative lives there. I thought I would finish my education and...my uncle lives there," Bumrah replied.

The Mumbai Indians star that if the plan had eventually succeeded, he might have attempted to play for the Canadian cricket team. Bumrah also disclosed how his mother's decision to oppose the plan eventually prevented it from succeeding.
