The India's Champions Trophy squad was announced a couple of days ago and almost all the boxes were ticked, including the inclusion of their star man, Jasprit Bumrah. The star pacer suffered from a back injury during the 5th Test Vs Australia in Sydney and was doubtful for the upcoming ICC event. However, all the rumours were quashed when BCCI included him in India's squad.

The pacer will resume his training from the end of this month, and while most fans have had a sigh of relief, seeing Bumrah's name in the squad, there is actually a catch to it. The actual seriousness of the injury is yet to be disclosed and there could be a chance that Bumrah might miss the Champions Trophy if he doesn't feel 100% match fit.

As per reports, Jasprit Bumrah's extensive injury report will come in the first week of February, and if that is fine and there is no seriousness, then Bumrah will fly to Dubai to take part in the ICC event. However, if there is even a slightest of catch or minor injury which could become major in the future, then Team India will need to make a bold call on his inclusion.

The champion pacer is likely to play the final ODI of the series Vs England and even that game could decide his Champions Trophy fate.
