The schedule of Champions Trophy 2025 has arrived. The bugle of the tournament will start from 19th February, for which the last date to announce the teams is 12th January. Announcing the team for the Champions Trophy is going to be a big challenge for the Indian selectors. It is believed that more or less the same players will be seen playing in the Champions Trophy, who would have been selected for the home ODI series against England. However, due to the injury suffered during the Sydney Test, it is difficult for Bumrah to play in the series against England. But there are reports of him being made the vice-captain of Team India for the Champions Trophy.

Bumrah can be vice-captain in Champions Trophy

There are reports that if Jasprit Bumrah is fit, he will be the vice-captain of Team India in the Champions Trophy. Meaning, he can be seen playing the role of Rohit Sharma's deputy. Now the question is, how is Bumrah's injury? Jasprit Bumrah had back spasm during the Sydney Test. Meaning, there was stiffness in his back. After this injury, he left the field and never came back. Bumrah was also taken for scanning. However, the report of what came in the scan has not been revealed.

What is the information about Bumrah's injury?

Nothing can be said clearly about Bumrah's latest injury. But, this injury he suffered is not new either. India's star fast bowler also suffered back spasm in the year 2022. However, he made a comeback after a week's rehabilitation. But, after his comeback, he again suffered a back injury, after which he had to stay out of cricket for almost a year.

Playing in the Champions Trophy depends on the severity of the injury.

Now, the severity of Bumrah's back spasm suffered in Sydney will depend on whether he will play in the Champions Trophy to be hosted by Pakistan in February-March or not.

Based on the latest report of his injury, the selectors will decide whether to make him the vice-captain or not. India has to play all its Champions Trophy matches in Dubai.

Here, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya and other big players may be seen returning to the team for the series against England before the Champions Trophy. Many batsmen and bowlers including Shreyas Iyer have done well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Just have to see what the selectors think.
