Jasprit Bumrah, one of India’s top fast bowlers, has been declared fit and available to play in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. The tournament is set to begin on September 9 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bumrah was rested during the recent Test series against England to maintain his fitness for this critical event. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed his availability, bringing relief to Indian cricket fans.
However, Pakistan faces a major setback as veteran batter Fakhar Zaman is doubtful for the Asia Cup due to a severe hamstring injury. Zaman was ruled out of the West Indies tour, and his recovery timeline remains uncertain, raising concerns about Pakistan’s squad strength in the tournament.
The Asia Cup 2025 will feature eight teams competing for the prestigious trophy. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav is currently at the National Cricket Academy undergoing rehabilitation after surgery, with hopes of being ready for the tournament.
The tournament promises intense encounters, especially between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan. While India’s prospects have improved with Bumrah’s return to fitness, Pakistan must cope with the challenges posed by key player injuries.

- Jasprit Bumrah declared fit for Asia Cup 2025 starting September 9 in UAE.
