Jasprit Bumrah and Shubman Gill progressing toward full fitness

Jasprit Bumrah will begin gradually increasing his bowling workload after suffering an impact injury during the ODI series in England. Shubman Gill has sought help from specialists outside the BCCI for his chronic neck problem.

Both players are in the process of returning to full fitness following separate injury concerns. Bumrah sustained an impact injury during the ODI series in England, and his recovery plan now includes a measured ramp-up of bowling activity. Gill has been managing a chronic neck problem and has pursued specialist consultation beyond the BCCI’s medical setup. Team and medical staff are monitoring their progress as they follow these tailored approaches.

Bumrah’s immediate programme centres on controlled increases in his bowling workload rather than an abrupt return to full intensity. The pacer’s rehabilitation is structured to limit risk while rebuilding match-readiness after the impact injury sustained in England. His workload will be raised in stages to ensure the injury responds positively to the stepped increases.

In Gill’s case, management of a persistent neck issue has prompted him to seek expertise outside the board’s medical panel. The decision to consult external specialists reflects a targeted effort to address a chronic condition and to explore additional treatment or management options. Gill’s engagement with outside specialists is intended to complement any care provided within the existing setup.

Both approaches underline a cautious, individualized path back to competitive fitness for the two players. Rather than returning immediately to full training or match duties, each is following specific measures tailored to the nature of his condition. The arrangements aim to balance recovery with the need to restore performance capability.

Bumrah and Gill remain on managed recovery programmes: Bumrah will begin gradually increasing his bowling workload after the impact injury in England, and Gill has sought help from specialists outside the BCCI for his chronic neck problem. Further updates on their fitness status will be provided as their rehabilitation progresses.
