India's Champions Trophy Squad: While there was anticipation that the BCCI would name the squad by January 12, it is now expected that the squad would be announced by January 19

KL Rahul was reportedly set to miss the upcoming ODI series against England.

The recently-concluded Test series between India and Australia had its fair share of controversies with a number of them revolving around the Indian cricket team dressing room.

While the high-profile India batting crumbled in the Test series in Australia, Rahul was among the few batters who got runs.

Former India cricketer-turned-pundit Sanjay Manjrekar made a rather bold call while picking his ideal squad for the Champions Trophy 2025.

Mohammed Kaif believes that Jasprit Bumrah should not become the next Indian cricket team captain after Rohit Sharma and added that a batter would be better suited for the role.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will continue to form the batting core of India's ODI squad but there are at least three senior players who can miss out when the selectors gather this weekend to pick the squad for the Champions Trophy.

KL Rahul, who played all the five Test matches against the Aussies, has requested for a break and will skip the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts.

India have decided on a new route for leadership in ODIs ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The focus now shifts to white-ball cricket with England travelling to India and the Champions Trophy 2025 taking place in February after a series of controversies.
