India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy after failing to recover from a lower back injury in time for the tournament, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) announced on Tuesday.

India’s prospects at the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy got a major jolt with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the tournament on Tuesday. Bumrah has a lower back injury suffered during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney last month and has been out of action since.

India are set to take a final decision on Jasprit Bumrah's participation in the Champions Trophy on February 11, the deadline for submission of the final squads to the ICC, as uncertainty lingers over his fitness.

BCCI will likely decide on Jasprit Bumrah's participation for Champions Trophy today. If unavailable, Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj are potential replacements for the Indian squad.

India is set to end the suspense over Jasprit Bumrah and make a final call on the star pacer. Bumrah has not played any cricket since the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy ended, where he suffered a back injury during the final Test.

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action with a back injury since last month but was named in India's provisional squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
