Indian captain Rohit Sarma and BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar have announced Team India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh have also been included in this squad. However, Agarkar expressed some doubt about Bumrah’s fitness and said that the medical team will comment on his fitness status.
According to the report of Times of India, Bumrah will be scanned on February 2. The scan results will decide Bumrah’s future keeping this fact in mind. He is undoubtedly the best bowler of this generation and India should not risk his body. However, the conundrum is that Shami is also returning from surgery and is yet to make a comeback at the international level. Arshdeep Singh, who has been selected in place of Mohammed Siraj, is still new to ODI cricket.
Agarkar has said that Bumrah may not be fit to play the upcoming ODI series against England before the ICC Champions Trophy. Due to this, Harshit Rana will play in ODI against England. Let us tell you that, during the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah had back spasms and he could not even partially play in the important Sydney Test. Without Bumrah, India lost the match and lost the series 3–1.
