Indian cricket team’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah recently underwent a scan at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, with results expected within 24 hours. His availability for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 depends on these findings.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir are eagerly awaiting the report, which will determine the next steps for Bumrah’s rehabilitation.
According to a Times of India report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical team is conducting a thorough evaluation, and an official update is expected by Saturday.

Also, Dr. Rowan Schouten, New Zealand-based orthopedic surgeon who operated on Bumrah in 2023, may be consulted for further advice. The selection committee will make the final call on Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 based on medical recommendations.
Jasprit Bumrah experienced back pain during the fifth and final Test against Australia, forcing him to leave the field for medical attention. To prioritize his recovery, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has excluded him from India’s ongoing three-match ODI series against England.
Ahead of the first ODI against England, Rohit Sharma stated, “We are all waiting for the report of Jasprit Bumrah’s scan. In a few days, we will know whether he will be available or not.”
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 kicks off on February 19, with eight teams set to compete. Indian fans will be hoping for Bumrah’s full recovery, as his presence is highly important for India’s success in the tournament.
