Jasprit Bumrah is reportedly in Bengaluru with the NCA, where he will have scans to determine his availability for the 2025 Champions Trophy campaign for India.
According to reports, Jasprit Bumrah, the pace star of India, has arrived in Bengaluru in order to start his race against time to get fully healthy in time for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai.
The Times of India reports that the Indian pacer would be evaluated by the National Cricket Academy (NCA), which is run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The experts will report their findings to the men’s senior selection committee, which is chaired by Ajit Agarkar, after the pacer has been at the NCA for at least two or three days. Agarkar had stated earlier this month that Bumrah had been requested to “off-load for five weeks” after the Border-Gavaskar series, and that they would receive more information early this month.After being ruled out of the first two ODIs against England, Bumrah has been instructed to take a five-week break. We are awaiting his fitness, and the medical staff will update us on his condition in early February. Around that time, we’ll likely learn additional specifics. In addition, the BCCI may release information about his medical condition directly from the physiotherapist, Agarkar had disclosed. Additionally, the BCCI selectors want to finalize with the International Cricket Council (ICC) their final 15-man roster for the 2025 Champions Trophy. According to the report, Harshit Rana could go into the side if Bumrah doesn’t cut.Prior to the ODI series against England, the Indian team has already started its preparations with a brief camp in Nagpur. In order to get the team ready for the upcoming ICC event, captain Rohit Sharma will be able to test out his combinations in the upcoming 50-over match. Nagpur, Cuttack, and Ahmedabad will host the three matches, accordingly.On February 15, the squad will take a plane to Dubai after the ODI series, where, should they go far in the competition, they will play out their whole tournament. Senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit, and others would be eager to return to their peak performance after recent poor performances that have raised serious concerns.
