There were reports earlier in the media stating that BCCI had requested ICC for an extension as the team just returned from Australia, having played the five-match Test series. However, the real reason behind the India squad delay for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has been revealed.
Jasprit Bumrah suffered a back injury during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and it was recently revealed by the Indian Express that the fast bowler has back swelling. It was learned that the pacer might miss the league stage of the ICC Champions Trophy and play the knockouts.
Recent reports claimed that Kuldeep Yadav is very near to reaching full fitness. The wrist spinner is likely to be fit by the end of this month and might even play in the ODI series against the England National Cricket Team, which will begin on February 6.
