After a back injury in Sydney’s New Year’s Test during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, India’s top pacer Jasprit Bumrah had to skip the Champions Trophy also. There is still no word on whether Jasprit Bumrah is set to start with Mumbai Indians in the first week or postpone.
India’s star pacer at present is rehabilitating at the BCCI’s Bengaluru-based Center of Excellence. There is no definite date for his return, but uncertainty surrounds his involvement in IPL 2025 with Mumbai Indians.
Bumrah has had a surgery before now, thus there is no guarantee if he will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025.
After the Indian Premier League (IPL) ends, India already have a busy itinerary set up and the England tour will start from June 28 to August 3. For certain, Jasprit Bumrah is the game-changer for India; therefore, him recovering on schedule is vital.
Former New Zealand cricketer Shane Bond also brought up a major worry for Bumrah: the shift from T20 cricket to Tests. Bond believes this is the “Danger Zone” for fast bowlers since the change in workload distribution can heavily stress the body. Considering his injury— which should not be caused by a lot of workload—the move from T20 cricket to Tests will be a significant challenge for Bumrah.
