Jasprit Bumrah, the spearhead of Team India, has raised serious concerns about his availability for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which starts in February. There is a possibility that the Indian cricket team will go into the next marquee tournament without their white-ball opener.
As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 approaches, Team India faces uncertainty over Bumrah’s availability. Bumrah was instrumental in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, finishing as the leading wicket-taker with 32 dismissals. His injury leaves doubts over his recovery ahead of the marquee ICC tournament.

His absence was felt by India as Australia cruised to a six-wicket win. Australia clinched the series and a place in the World Test Championship final.
The right-arm fast bowler was scanned on Day 2, but his participation remained undecided until Day 3. He came to bat for India in the second innings, but did not bowl. In his absence, Virat Kohli took over but the bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, struggled to make an impact.
