India pacer Jasprit Bumrah on Sunday received his ICC honours, including the Men’s Cricketer of the Year and Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year awards, before the start of the Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan. Bumrah is not playing in the Champions Trophy as he has been sidelined with a back issue. Bumrah met his India teammates during their warm-up drills before the match. Bumrah had an outstanding Test season last year, taking 71 wickets in 13 matches with the second-best effort coming from England’s Gus Atkinson who claimed 52 wickets in 11 matches. Bumrah averaged 14.92 in Tests in 2024 and ended the year with a strike rate of 30.1.
