In a candid interview, Bangladesh’s star all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has shared his relief over the absence of India’s fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, from the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The announcement follows Bumrah’s unfortunate injury that rules him out of the tournament.
Speaking with Sanjana Ganesan, wife of Bumrah, Mehidy was quick to admit that he was “very happy” with the news of Bumrah’s absence. Miraz described the bowler as “very dangerous” and recalled how he had struggled against him in the past. “He is not coming here. We are very happy!” said Mehidy, showing his excitement about not having to face the Indian pace ace on the field.
Jasprit Bumrah, one of India’s most lethal bowlers, was ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to a lower back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. His absence is seen as a significant boost for teams like Bangladesh, who will now have one less challenge to contend with in the highly competitive tournament.
Bumrah’s injury has been a major blow for India, with many experts expressing concerns about their chances in the upcoming competition. However, for Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the Bangladesh team, this development is seen as a much-needed relief ahead of their campaign in the Champions Trophy.
The tournament is set to kick off in a few months, and with Bumrah sidelined, India will be looking to find a replacement who can step up and fill the void left by the fast bowler.
