Jasprit Bumrah injury update revealed. Check details

Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 was thrown into uncertainty after he suffered a back spasm during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. After bowling in the first innings, Bumrah immediately underwent scans and did not return for the second innings, raising concerns over his fitness. This sparked widespread speculation about his availability for the prestigious Champions Trophy, with reports suggesting that he could miss the league stages due to the injury. The news of his potential absence dominated headlines, with many wondering if Bumrah would be able to recover in time for the tournament. However, recent updates have provided a more optimistic outlook regarding his recovery.

Sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have confirmed that Bumrah's recovery is progressing well, and he is expected to begin his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru by the weekend. The medical team will closely monitor his progress, and if everything goes as planned, Bumrah could be fit for selection. The BCCI has emphasized that Bumrah’s inclusion in the Champions Trophy squad will depend on the clearance from the medical team. If he is deemed fully fit, the star pacer could make a timely return to the Indian team, adding significant strength to their bowling attack for the high-stakes tournament.

“Bumrah is just fine and getting better with time. He is very eager to play the Champions Trophy,” a source revealed. 

“Bumrah’s rehabilitation will be handled with utmost care. His inclusion in the Champions Trophy will depend on his progress and medical assessments at the NCA,” a BCCI official stated.

Jasprit Bumrah recently took to social media to dismiss all the rumours surrounding his fitness, offering reassurance to fans and the cricketing community. The star pacer quashed speculation about his recovery and confirmed that he is progressing well. Bumrah’s statement put to rest concerns about his availability for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, and it seems his return to full fitness is on track.

Team India will kick off their Champions Trophy campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium. This match marks the beginning of a crucial tournament for India, who will be hoping for a strong performance. It is worth noting that, due to security concerns raised by the Indian government regarding sending players to Pakistan, Dubai was selected as the co-host for the event. All of India’s matches in the Champions Trophy will be held in Dubai, providing a neutral venue for the team to compete.
