Indian national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah underwent extensive testing after he sustained an injury during the final match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The fast bowler suffered back spasms in the first innings of the Sydney Test and then did not come out to bowl.

Jasprit Bumrah will consult his personal doctor who performed the surgery in New Zealand

According to Sports Tak reports, Jasprit Bumrah will consult his personal doctor who performed the surgery on him in New Zealand as well as the BCCI medical team.

With Jasprit Bumrah’s ill health, Rishabh Pant’s name is also being considered for the Test captaincy

In matters related to his fitness, RevSportz has reported that there will be discussions on not awarding Jasprit Bumrah the Test captaincy due to his workload. We will take into consideration whether the fast bowler will be able to play in all the matches if he is given the lead.

The report added that Rishabh Pant’s name was also being considered for the Test captaincy due to his outstanding performances in the game. Immediately, there will not be any calls related to this and discussions surrounding the matter will revolve around the England series.

As far as Bumrah is concerned, it is learned that the fast bowler will be rested during the three-match ODI series against England. This is because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wants the fast bowler to feature in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
