For India’s Champions Trophy 2025 Squad, Jasprit Bumrah Ruled Out
Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy due to a lower back injury. The BCCI confirmed that young pacer Harshit Rana will replace Bumrah in the squad.
Bumrah sustained the injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Although scans didn’t reveal any new issues, he is not ready to return to bowling yet. The BCCI medical team will continue to monitor his progress.
In another change, spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been included in the squad, replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal will now serve as a non-traveling reserve along with Mohammed Siraj and ShivamDube. These three players will remain on standby and travel to Dubai if needed.
The decision to include Kharavarthy comes after his impressive performance in the T20I series against England, where he took 14 wickets in five games and was named ‘Player of the Series’.
India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, 2025: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohd. Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy.
Non-traveling substitutes: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj, and Shivam Dube. The three players will travel to Dubai as and when required.
