Bumrah, Kuldeep Included In India's Squad For Champions Trophy, No Place For Siraj
Champions Trophy: Fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been named in India's Champions Trophy squad beginning on February 19. His inclusion, though, is subject to him being fit in time for the tournament, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar expressing optimism on his participation.
Bumrah didn’t bowl in the second innings of the Sydney Test due to back spasms, raising concerns over his match fitness for India’s upcoming two white-ball assignments. “Bumrah was asked to offload for five weeks, BCCI will put something out from the medical team. Hopefully, he is okay after the first week of February,” said Agarkar in the press conference, held after a delay of more than two hours at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.
Rohit's opening partner Shubman Gill has been named vice-captain for England ODIs and the eight-team ICC marquee tournament.
