Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in ICC Champions Trophy will depend on the feedback which will be provided by New Zealand doctor Rowen Schouten. The premium pacer, who is currently on a five-week rest period following the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is reportedly planned for a visit to the country based on his reports and feedback from the orthopedic surgeon. While Bumrah has been included in India’s squad for the marquee event, it remains to be seen if he will be 100% fit in time for the tournament that begins on February 19.
