    "editor1": "Champions Trophy: Fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been named in India's Champions Trophy squad beginning on February 19. His inclusion, though, is subject to him being fit in time for the tournament, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar expressing optimism on his participation.<p>Bumrah didn\u2019t bowl in the second innings of the Sydney Test due to back spasms, raising concerns over his match fitness for India\u2019s upcoming two white-ball assignments. \u201cBumrah was asked to offload for five weeks, BCCI will put something out from the medical team. Hopefully, he is okay after the first week of February,\u201d said Agarkar in the press conference, held after a delay of more than two hours at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit's opening partner Shubman Gill has been named vice-captain for England ODIs and the eight-team ICC marquee tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the three ODIs against England, seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana has been included. There\u2019s no place for pacer Mohammed Siraj though, as India have opted to go with left-arm fast-bowler Arshdeep Singh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are also places in the team for young left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who was out of action since October last year due to a hernia surgery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will be playing three ODIs against England on February 6, 9 and 12 in Nagpur, Cuttack and Ahmedabad, before the Champions Trophy begins on February 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India are in Group A and will play their Champions Trophy games in Dubai, as they didn\u2019t get permission from the government to travel to Pakistan. India, the two-time Champions Trophy winners, will begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20, after which they play against arch-rivals Pakistan on February 23, before facing New Zealand on March 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will be playing three ODIs against England on February 6, 9 and 12 in Nagpur, Cuttack and Ahmedabad, before the Champions Trophy begins on February 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
