If there is nothing good in the end, Jasprit Bumrah's chances of playing in the Champions Trophy are slim. Simply put, the fate of this Indian pacer is hanging by a thread. Bumrah's injury has not yet been examined by New Zealand doctor Rowan Schouten. Until he submits his report, no decision will be taken on Bumrah's game.

An official of the Indian Cricket Board said that the BCCI is making every effort to recover Bumrah. He said, 'The board's medical team is in touch with Rowan in New Zealand. In the meantime, there are plans to send Bumrah there.

Bumrah has not bowled since his injury in Sydney. He has been banned from doing heavy work. The board's doctors have examined Bumrah's injury. That report will be sent to New Zealand. It was Rowan who performed Bumrah's surgery in 2022. That is why the board is counting on him. The official said that the New Zealand doctor will be sent the report of Bumrah's test.

The selectors have already been informed to keep a replacement pacer ready. Once the entire process is completed, the selectors will be informed about Bumrah's injury. India has announced the Champions Trophy squad with Bumrah. Changes can be made in that squad until February 11. Harshit Rana has been taken as Bumrah's replacement in the one-day series against England.
