Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness remains a concern ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian pacer, struggling with back spasms, recently consulted New Zealand orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rowan Schouten. Reports suggest Bumrah might be included in the squad but will only play if he is pain-free. Meanwhile, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif advised against making Bumrah India’s Test captain, citing risks to his fitness and career longevity. Kaif suggested KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant as better options for the role. Speculation about Rohit Sharma stepping down as Test captain has fueled discussions about leadership changes in Indian cricket.
