Jasprit Bumrah claims bed rest rumours 'unreliable, fake' ahead of Champions Trophy squad selection

Star cricketer Jasprit Bumrah slashed down the reports of him being ordered bed rest with a post on his X account on Wednesday. The reports about Bumrah's potential absence from India's squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy are one of the hottest topics in Indian cricket right now but the star bowler's recent action to these posts suggests a bowler back to full fitness.

After the recent reports of Bumrah being sidelined till the semi-final matches of the Champions Trophy, one source claimed a 'bed rest' and 'break from



cricket' for the in-form pacer. Bumrah silenced that report and said the source was 'unreliable' and 'fake'.

"I know fake news is easy to spread but this made me laugh. Sources unreliable," Bumrah reacted to the X post.

Bumrah suffered a minor back injury during the fifth Test match of the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy and didn't bowl on the last day of the Sydney Test. However, he was spotted walking normally during the trophy presentation ceremony but the reports of him having a swollen back emerged online.
