Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s Reaction

Speaking to presenter Sanjana Ganesan, who is also Bumrah’s wife, Miraz expressed how tough it is to face the Indian bowler. He described Bumrah as dangerous and admitted to getting dismissed by him multiple times.

Miraz recalled his dismissals, including one during the Asia Cup 2018 and twice in the Kanpur Test. His excitement about not facing Bumrah in Dubai was evident in a video uploaded by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Bumrah’s Recovery and Future Matches

Bumrah, who previously missed the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, is currently recovering at the NCA. Although there is no official confirmation of his return, his fitness will be crucial for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Fans eagerly await his participation in the high-stakes match against Chennai Super Kings on March 23.

According to Ganesan, Bumrah is “doing fine” and focusing on his rehabilitation. His return will be essential for India’s tour of England, a crucial series in the cricketing calendar.

Why Bumrah’s Absence Matters?

Bumrah’s unavailability significantly impacts India’s bowling attack. He is known for his:

Deadly yorkers
Seam movement in both directions
Ability to deliver under pressure
Experience in ICC tournaments

For teams like Bangladesh, this is a rare opportunity to face India without their most feared pacer. However, India still boasts a strong pace attack, making the tournament highly competitive.

India vs Bangladesh: What to Expect?

Despite Bumrah’s absence, the upcoming match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai promises excitement. Bangladesh will rely on key players like Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das, while India will expect leadership from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Fans can anticipate an intense contest, with Bangladesh aiming to capitalize on Bumrah’s unavailability. However, India’s depth in fast bowling could still pose a significant challenge.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling event. While Bumrah’s absence is a talking point, it also opens the door for new bowling talents in India’s squad. As Bangladesh celebrates this temporary relief, cricket enthusiasts worldwide are eager to see how India adapts to this challenge.
