Jasprit Bumrah's Fitness Uncertainty Looms Over Champions Trophy

India awaits scan results to determine Bumrah's availability as concerns grow over his back injury and potential impact on the tournament.

Jasprit Bumrah's participation in the Champions Trophy remains uncertain due to a back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in January.
India's captain Rohit Sharma stated that scan results expected in the coming days will clarify Bumrah's fitness status for the third ODI against England and the Champions Trophy.
Bumrah was quietly removed from India's updated ODI squad for the England series, with spinner Varun Chakravarthy added in his place.
Former coach Ravi Shastri emphasized Bumrah's critical role, estimating that his absence could reduce India's chances of winning the Champions Trophy by up to 35%.
India and Pakistan are set to face off in a highly anticipated Champions Trophy clash on February 23 in Dubai, with Bumrah's fitness being a key concern for the Indian side.
