Jasprit Bumrah, the star India pacer, dismissed reports claiming he had been advised bed rest with a post on his X account on January 15 (Wednesday). Bumrah sustained an injury during the fifth and final Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 due to back spasms. Speculation about Bumrah's potential absence from India's squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan has been a major talking point in Indian cricket. 

On Wednesday, a media report claimed that Bumrah had been instructed to rest at home, casting uncertainty over his availability for the Champions Trophy, starting on February 19. The report also mentioned that Bumrah is expected to report to the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, though the exact date of his arrival remains unclear.

Bumrah's Participation In Champions Trophy 2025 In Doubt

For the unversed, Jasprit Bumrah sustained an injury during the fifth and final Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 due to back spasms. The BCCI’s medical team has advised him to rest as part of his recovery process. Bumrah is also dealing with back swelling, and the medical staff aims to address this before deciding on the next steps for his rehabilitation, putting his participation in the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 in doubt.

Notably, India's Champions Trophy squad is likely to be announced on January 19 after the end of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.

With a packed schedule ahead, including the home white-ball series against England, the Champions Trophy, the IPL and the Test series in England, the Indian team management is likely to handle Jasprit Bumrah's workload with caution and care.
