Bumrah`s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Participation in Doubt

Jasprit Bumrah's availability for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is in serious jeopardy following a back injury sustained during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. The injury occurred during the second innings of the match in Sydney, where Bumrah had already made a significant impact on the series, taking 32 wickets at an impressive average of 13.06, earning him the title of 'Player of the Series.'

The specifics of Bumrah's injury remain uncertain, with medical assessments needed to determine whether he is dealing with mere muscle spasms or a more severe stress fracture. The recovery timeline could vary significantly based on the diagnosis, ranging from a few weeks for minor spasms to as long as six months if it turns out to be a Grade 1 to Grade 3 stress fracture. Former India trainer Ramji Srinivasan has indicated that if the injury is indeed just spasms, there is a possibility for a quicker return to fitness.

As the deadline for announcing the squad for the Champions Trophy approaches on January 12, concerns grow over Bumrah's chances of recovery. Former Pakistan batter Basit Ali has suggested that Bumrah's likelihood of making it to the squad is only about 10 percent, casting further doubt on his participation in the prestigious tournament.
