Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since January. The last time the pacer donned the Indian jersey was during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney.
After bowling 10.1 overs in the first innings, the A-Lister was visibly in discomfort and went for scans. He was advised by the Australian doctors not to participate in the remainder of the Sydney Test. He came out to bat in the second innings but didn't take up his duties with the ball.
Ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, Harshit Rana has been named as Bumrah's replacement. Also, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been replaced by Varun Chakravarthy.

The biggest match of the ICC tournament between two arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, will be played on February 23. India will start its campaign against Bangladesh on February 20. India's last league match will be against New Zealand on March 2.
