Earlier, during the ICC Champions trophy 2025 squad announcement, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar revealed that Bumrah was asked to 'off-load for five weeks' after the Sydney Test and his fitness will be reassessed in early February. 'Bumrah has been told to off-load for five weeks and he won't be available for the first two ODIs against England. We are waiting on his fitness and will know his status in early February from the medical team. We'll probably find out a bit more around that time, what exactly, and with regards to what his medical condition is, I'm sure BCCI might just put something out, from the physio itself,' Agarkar said.

Although, a clarity is set to come in a week's time, BCCI have more than a week to ponder on their Champions Trophy squad as they are set to submit the final squad by February 12 to the International cricket Council (ICC). As far as it is concerned, if Bumrah is declared fit, he is likely to feature in the third ODI against England, set to be played on February 12 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
