Big Update: Jasprit Bumrah to consult personal doctor along with BCCI Medical Staff for back injury

India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah suffered back pain during the fifth Test of the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he could not even bowl in the final innings of the Test and is most likely going to be rested for majority of India’s white-ball series against England at home.

This decision has been taken by BCCI considering the Champions Trophy 2025, that is going to begin February 19. However, there is still no solid confirmation on the depths of Bumrah’s injury and how badly will he be affected.

A source close to the development told that Bumrah will be getting treated under his personal doctor, who operated on him in New Zealand along with the BCCI medical team. The nature of the injury, along with the status of Bumrah will be revealed in a few days, and only the doctors will have the final call on Bumrah’s future.

“What he has to do and what suggestions he has to take this is all between BCCI doctors and his doctor who had operated on him in New Zealand,  you will know in some days the exact nature of the injury and status….everything depends on him personally… He is in touch with doctors and he will be assessed further to know the exact injury and level, if he requires rest, he will be given there is no doubt about it but before that, we need to know his exact injury then only doctors will decide the next step call will be taken accordingly, as of now We can only hope and wish that he recovers soon,” the source stated.

According to a few reports, it was clear that Bumrah will not play in the T20I bilateral series since this is not the World Cup year. However, as the Champions Trophy comes close, he would have played two or even three ODIs against England because of the 50-over format of the game.

The severity of his injury will now declare whether Bumrah will take part in England series at all or will he only participate in the last game on February 12 in Ahmedabad. Indian team is going to face England in three ODIs and five T20Is, beginning January 22.
