BCCI drops massive update on the injury status of five Indian cricket team members

In what would come as a sigh of relief for several Indian cricket fans, BCCI announced the current status of five of its senior players that included Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. All five of them have been undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Issuing a statement on India’s ace quick, Jasprit Bumrah, alongside the rising Prasidh Krishna, BCCI said, “The two fast bowlers are in the final stages of their rehab and are bowling with full intensity in the nets. The duo will now play some practice games, which the NCA will organise. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their progress and will make a final decision after assessing them following the practice games.”

Jasprit Bumrah’s last international appearance came in September 2022 when he was up against Australia but he never really looked comfortable. Despite talks of him returning to the bilateral series against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma reported that he had a sore back before the pacer finally decided to fly down and get a surgery done in New Zealand in March.

Talking on KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, the communique said, “They have resumed batting in the nets and are currently undergoing strength and fitness drills. The BCCI Medical Team is satisfied with their progress and will increase their intensity in terms of both skills and strength and conditioning in the coming days.”

The statement concluded with an update on Rishabh Pant, who met with an unfortunate accident last year, stating, “He has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and has commenced batting as well as keeping in the nets. He is currently following a fitness programme designed for him which includes strength, flexibility and running.”
