Bumrah's injury..!? Will he play in the Champions Trophy series?
Indian team's star fast bowler jasprit bumrah has suffered a back muscle strain. Due to this, he did not come out to bowl in the 2nd innings of the last Test against Australia, and there is no information about when he will be able to return to cricket. Although the indian team suffered a heavy defeat in the Test series against Australia, captain Bumrah's performance is receiving praise from the fans. bumrah, who played in 9 innings, has taken a total of 32 wickets. He bowled more than 150 overs in this Test series and surprised many. Meanwhile, bumrah suffered a back muscle strain during the last Test match. Immediately after this, he was taken out of the match halfway and taken to the hospital for a scan.
After Bumrah's injury was confirmed, he did not come out to bowl in the 2nd innings. This worried the indian team fans. Meanwhile, with the Champions Trophy series scheduled to be held next month, no information has been released about the nature of Bumrah's injury and when he will return to the cricket field. Meanwhile, the indian team will play the england T20 and ODI series. Participating in the Champions Trophy series without bumrah will be a huge setback for the indian team. In this situation, when Bumrah's injury was investigated, it was revealed that the nature of Bumrah's back muscle strain was not fully known. With the scan results coming in, the treatment will begin only after he arrives in India. If bumrah has a Grade 1 injury, he will have to rest for at least 3 weeks and then start training. Due to this, it is seen that he is unlikely to play in the england ODI series. Due to this, he will directly play for the indian team in the Champions Trophy series. But if it is a Grade 2 injury, bumrah will take 6 weeks to 3 months to recover from the injury. If so, Bumrah's chances of playing in the Champions Trophy series are very low.
Therefore, it is seen that Bumrah's return to the cricket field will be decided depending on the nature of his injury.
