The Indian team is busy preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 starting from February 19. The ICC has given the responsibility of India’s matches to Dubai. Just last month, Indian selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma announced the team for the Champions Trophy 2025, in which 15 players were given a chance. But now the star player seems to be dropped from the team.
Star player will be out of Champions Trophy 2025
All the teams have intensified their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 8 teams including India will be seen playing in this tournament starting from February 19. But before this, a piece of bad news has come out for the Indian team. It seems impossible for the star player of the team to play in the marquee tournament. Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was injured during the five-match Test series played with Australia. Despite this, he was selected for the Champions Trophy 2025.
India may have to bear the loss
According to recent reports, it is very difficult for Jasprit Bumrah to be fit for the Champions Trophy 2025. Due to this, he may have to be dropped from the team. The recent performance of the 31-year-old fast bowler has been amazing. He made a place in everyone’s heart by wreaking havoc on the opposition team with his speedy balls. Jasprit Bumrah also performed brilliantly as a bowler in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In such a situation, Team India may have to pay a heavy price for his absence in the Champions Trophy 2025.
This player may enter the team
If Jasprit Bumrah is out of the Champions Trophy 2025, then young fast bowler Harshit Rana can be given his place in the team. He made his debut in the ODI match played against England on 6 February. The 23-year-old fast bowler made his place in Team India after a strong performance in IPL 2024. While playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, Harshit Rana was seen bowling brilliantly, after which it is speculated that the Indian selectors can include him in the team in place of Jasprit Bumrah. Apart from him, Mohammad Siraj is also a strong contender for Jassi’s replacement.
