Bumrah`s Injury Puts Champions Trophy 2025 in Doubt

Jasprit Bumrah, India's star pacer, is facing uncertainty regarding his participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a recent back injury. The injury occurred during a Test match against Australia, where Bumrah suffered a back spasm, raising significant concerns about his availability for the tournament. His absence would be a considerable loss for the Indian bowling unit, given his crucial role in the team.

The selectors are currently evaluating their options and managing the workload of other key players, particularly those who have just completed a demanding five-Test tour of Australia. This situation complicates the team's preparations for the Champions Trophy, scheduled to start on February 19, with India's first match against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai, UAE.

Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding Bumrah's fitness has implications for the appointment of India's vice-captain. With Mohd Siraj also expected to miss games, the Indian team faces challenges in solidifying their squad for both the Champions Trophy and the bilateral white-ball series against England. As of now, specific scores, match details, or player statistics related to Bumrah in the context of the Champions Trophy 2025 are not available, as the tournament has yet to begin and the squads are still being finalized.
