Jasprit Bumrah, India's vice-captain, dismissed rumors about his fitness, stating reports of bed rest are "unreliable." Bumrah had sustained a back issue during the fifth Test against Australia, where he didn’t bowl in the second innings. While sources suggested he might miss the Champions Trophy's league stage, Bumrah clarified the misinformation on X. A final update from the BCCI is awaited as the pacer remains pivotal for India’s campaign. The Champions Trophy squad will be announced on January 19. Bumrah had a historic performance in Australia, taking 32 wickets and leading India to their only Test win in Perth.
