India`s pace bowler spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy due to a lower back injury. The Men’s Selection Committee has named allrounder Harshit Rana as Bumrah’s replacement. 

Team India have also named spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, who had impressed everyone with his superb bowling in the five-match T20I series with England, in the squad. The spinner, who was also a last-minute call-up into the ODI squad against England, will replace Yashasvi Jaiswal who was initially named in the provisional squad, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia informed in a release on Tuesday.
