Indian cricket team's veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had to face injury in the last match (Sydney Test) of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He was suffering from back spasms. After this he was taken to the hospital for a scan. Due to this, there were questions about Bumrah's selection in the Champions Trophy, but now the selectors have given Bumrah a place in the 15-member Team India for the Champions Trophy 2025. Although he will not play in the first two matches of the ODI series against England, he may be available for the last ODI. Amidst all this, a date will prove to be very important for Bumrah before the Champions Trophy and ODI series. That date can clear the picture of his playing in the Champions Trophy.
Bumrah was scanned after his injury in Australia. However, he has not yet fully recovered from the injury. According to a report, Bumrah will now be scanned again on February 2. Only after this will the decision be taken on his playing in the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, the date of February 2 will be very important for Bumrah. If he is not fit to play, then Harshit Rana will get a place in Team India in his place, who will be a part of the team in the England series and will also be the backup in the Champions Trophy.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. He had taken a total of 32 wickets in 5 matches. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, he also captained Team India in the Sydney Test. During Australia's first innings, he got injured and left the field after taking two wickets. Later he came out to bat but Bumrah did not bowl in the second innings of Australia. Since then he has been asked to take rest and currently he is resting at his home. Now only after the scan again on February 2, Bumrah's injury and his playing status in the Champions Trophy will be clear.
Let us tell you that there is only one change in the 15-member Team India for the ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana has been included in place of Bumrah in the ODI series. Although Bumrah can be seen in the last ODI. Team India's Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said about Bumrah in the press conference that he will not be available for the first two ODI matches against England.
