Jasprit Bumrah’s Fitness Update: Will He Be Available for the ODI Series vs England?

Will Jasprit Bumrah play in the ODI series against England?

Team India who recently announced their official squads for the ODI series and the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, left out Jasprit Bumrah from the ODI squad against England. With his injury being taken care of, no dates have been mentioned for his comeback game. So, will Jasprit Bumrah play in the ODI series against England?

Why Bumrah wasn’t mentioned in the squad?

Although most of the squad for the upcoming ODI series remains unchanged, the only change visible is Jasprit Bumrah being replaced by Harshit Rana. Bumrah who has been ruled out for the three-match ODI series was India’s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket for the year 2024 and a crucial player in India’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2023 victory. Currently, he is recovering from a back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

He bowled just one over in the final 5th BGT Test before leaving the field for scans. Ajit Agarkar, India’s chief selector, confirmed Bumrah would miss the first two ODIs and undergo fitness tests to assess his availability for the ODI series and the Champions Trophy 2025.

Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, and Harshit Rana are key pace options for India in the Champions Trophy.

How can Jasprit Bumrah Play in the ODI Series?

If Jasprit Bumrah is deemed fit enough to return, he will test his fitness by playing the third ODI against England on February 12. The fast bowler has been included in India’s Champions Trophy squad, but beside his name is an Astrix which states his participation depends on his recovery from recent back spasms.

Bumrah will miss the first two ODIs against England, with Harshit Rana replacing him. Following medical advice, Bumrah is on a five-week rest, and further scans in the early weeks of February. The selectors are hopeful he will recover in time to test his fitness by playing the 3rd ODI against England on 12th February and be prepared for the Champions Trophy, starting February 19 in Dubai.
