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.
