The Indian Rupee continued its historic decline against the dollar, exceeding 87 rupees for the first time following the recent budget announcement.
Meanwhile, uncertainty clouds Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. The star bowler, injured during the recent Australia tour, is yet to receive a clean bill of health. He is currently undergoing scans in Bengaluru to assess a back injury that also caused him to miss part of the Sydney Test. While he’s been ruled out of the initial two ODIs against England starting February 6th, his participation in the Champions Trophy and subsequent matches remains unclear. The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring his progress, and a final decision will be made following a report to the selection committee. Other key players, such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have already returned to domestic cricket and are preparing for the England series.
