In a few days, BCCI will announce the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, and along with that, the squad for the England series will also be revealed. There is a fear of Jasprit Bumrah being dropped before the squad is announced. 

According to some reports, Jasprit Bumrah will consult the BCCI medical team along with his doctor who operated on him in New Zealand the last time he was out injured in 2022.

Jasprit Bumrah's name will be added to the Champions Trophy squad but he will need clearance from the NCA (National Cricket Academy) medical team. 

Jasprit Bumraj injury case

Jasprit Bumrah was injured in the last Test series of Australia due to which he did not even bowl in the last innings. According to fans, not winning the match was also due to Jasprit Bumrah's injury.

Jasprit Bumrah had a back spasm in the Sydney Test due to which he was out of the field and was taken to the hospital.

The medical report has not been disclosed yet, if there is only a back spasm then he will be completely ready to play but if there is a bone injury then the rehabilitation process will take more time and due to this reason he can also be out of Champions Trophy.

According to TOI report, he can recover by the time of the Champions Trophy 2025 if it is a minor spasm or the recovery can take a few months if it’s a severe fracture.

How much time will it take to recover

Grade 1 and Grade 3 stress fractures take 3 to 6 months to recover, if something like this comes in the reports then Bumrah can be out of the Champions Trophy 2025 and also his uncertainty will last up to IPL 2025.

Premier India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has raised concerns for the national team and Mumbai Indians as he is unlikely to be fit for the World Test Championship 21-23 final in June and IPL 2023, as per a report in Cricbuzz. The IPL is set to get underway in a month but Bumrah is unlikely to regain fitness ahead of the lucrative tournament.

The Indian fast-bowling spearhead has not been feeling comfortable which could see him out for a long time, if sources in the BCCI and IPL circles are to be believed, as per the Cricbuzz report. Bumrah has been out for five months already.

Jasprit Bumrah injury: When will the India fast bowler make a comeback?

It is, however, understood that Bumrah could make a comeback for Team India at the World Cup in October-November. But his availability for the Asia Cup, with the schedule still to be announced, is still not clear.

Bumrah made his last appearance for Team India in a T20I against Australia, on September 25, 2022. He has since, then, been unfit to represent take the national assignments and subsequently missed out on the three ODIs against Australia in March.

The National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru is, however, unlikely to hurry him into action. It was initially reported that Bumrah might return to action for the IPL 2023 but it looks unlikely now.

The management is looking to chart out a positive plan for his comeback.
