Update on Jasprit Bumrah's fitness: The Indian pacer has already seen Dr. Rowan Schouten, an orthopaedic specialist from New Zealand, who performed surgery on his back in 2023.
Prior to the release of the Indian cricket team's squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which begins in Pakistan and Dubai next month, Jasprit Bumrah's fitness has been a hot topic of conversation. On the second day of the fifth Test match against Australia in Sydney, the Indian bowler experienced a back spasm and had to leave the game in the middle to get precautionary scans at a nearby hospital.
The 30-year-old did not bowl in the fourth innings, and Bumrah came out to bat for India in the second, although the stand-in captain admitted that he "felt a bit of discomfort" during his second session in the first innings.Actually, the BCCI has not yet provided an update regarding Bumrah's injury.
Given that India's Champions Trophy 2025 opener is on February 20, Bumrah will have 47 days in total (January 4–February 20) to recover. Nevertheless, despite Bumrah's prompt recovery,Whether or not Bumrah can bowl 10 overs without a pair will determine whether or not he is included in the starting lineup.
How much time will it take for Jasprit Bumrah to recover?
If Bumrah has a Grade 1 injury, it could take two to three weeks. Bumrah will need nearly six weeks to recuperate from a Grade 2 injury. Bumrah might miss three months of action if his injury is classified as Grade 3. Additionally, the BCCI must remember what transpired when they rushed Bumrah following a back spasm.
Following weeks of rehabilitation following a back spasm in 2022, Bumrah made a comeback to competition.However, the India pacer missed further time due to a worsened back condition that required nearly a year to fully recover from.
