so after taking a look at the codebase, found that when --dry-run is enabled, scripts are not executed. Makes sense.
So I tried running without --dry-run and found the problem. I used npm pkg get version command in prebump script. This returned value in double quotes, For example, '"1.0.0"' and when this value is passed in semver.valid method Here, it returned null. PR #186 fixes this.
