Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to a back injury.
The fast bowler suffered the injury during India’s Test series against Australia and has missed the ongoing ODI and T20 series against England.
He will miss the Champions Trophy due to the lower back injury, with Harshit Rana called up as his replacement in the squad.
Varun Chakaravarthy has also been added to the squad, with the spinner replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal was originally named in the provisional squad.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy.
