While the latest scan, which Bumrah underwent in Bengaluru over the weekend, did not reveal anything untoward, it is learned he is not entirely ready to return to bowling yet. His progress will continue to be monitored by the BCCI’s medical team based at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. There is no confirmation on the timeline of his return to bowling. It is likely he will resume running in a couple of weeks and then start to bowl gradually after that.

When the BCCI announced the provisional squad for Champions Trophy and the England series in January, Rana was named as Bumrah’s back-up for the England ODIs. Rana made his ODI debut in the first ODI of the England series in Nagpur, sharing the new ball with Mohammed Shami. After an impressive start, Phil Salt thrashed Rana for 26 runs in his third over, but the Delhi seamer bounced back picking three wickets to transfer the pressure back on England, which played a key role in the eventual victory for the hosts.
