India's squad announcement for Champions Trophy 2025 Highlights: Team India announced the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series against England on Saturday, with captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressing a press conference. The biggest talking point came in the form of Shubman Gill being named as the vice-captain of the side. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was selected, with Agarkar expressing that further clarity on his fitness will be given in February. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant were preferred as wicket-keepers over Sanju Samson for the 15-man squad, while Mohammed Siraj was another big name left out. Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami were also included, confirming successful recoveries from injury. Head coach Gautam Gambhir was not present in the press conference, having given his input in a discussion with Rohit and the selectors on Friday evening.
Full India squad for Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Thank you!
Thank you for joining us for all the live updates for the Champions Trophy squad announcement.
Stay tuned to NDTV Sports for all the live and latest sports news across the world. Champions Trophy, Premier League, Australian Open and lots more sporting action, covered breath by breath, right here.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Over to Rohit and co.
The suspense is finally over, the 15-man squad has been announced (albeit 2 and a half hours late). Now, it is up to Rohit Sharma and team to perform and bring a record third Champions Trophy for Team India.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Shami or Arshdeep
The decision between Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh may be straightforward on paper, but taking injuries and form into consideration, the role of the second pacer isn't so clear.
However, if Bumrah is ruled out, both Shami and Arshdeep will feature in the playing XI.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rahul or Pant
India have a conundrum in the form of who their first-choice wicket-keeper batter will be. KL Rahul enjoyed a terrific 2023 World Cup with the bat, and holds a slight edge. However, form in the England series could decide who starts in the XI.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Big responsibility for Gill
The faith in Shubman Gill is clear to see. Following on from the tour of Sri Lanka, Gambhir, Rohit and co. have once again appointed him as the vice-captain. It signals that the 25-year-old is firmly in India's leadership plans for the future, at least in white-ball cricket.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Will Jaiswal make debut?
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been backed by the selectors and picked as the back-up opener for Team India despite not even making his ODI debut. It does not come as a surprise, however, given his sensational form in Tests and T20Is.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: India aim for preparation
India have picked identical squads for both the England ODI series and the Champions Trophy 2025. The only difference comes in the form of Harshit Rana, who has been picked for the England series keeping in mind Bumrah's fitness problems.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit to play Ranji
Rohit Sharma has confirmed his availability for Mumbai's Ranji Trophy game against Jammu and Kashmir from January 23. He joins the likes of Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill as senior India stars who will play Ranji Trophy next week.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Samson snubbed
Sanju Samson not playing the Vijay Hazare Trophy has ultimately cost him any shot at the Champions Trophy 2025 squad. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant have been picked, and it will be intriguing to see which one, or if both, are in the XI come Feb 20.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No direct Pandya backup
Perhaps the one missing piece in the India squad is the lack of a pace-bowling all-rounder backup. India have picked 4 all-rounders, but no Nitish Reddy means that any injury to Pandya would force India to play an extra spinner. However, that could open the scope to play 3 pacers.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Shami returns
After a lot of effort, Mohammed Shami has made it back in time for the Champions Trophy. On skill, there was never any question, and it seems like he has convinced the selectors as well with regards to his fitness.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Bumrah's availability
Ajit Agarkar has informed in the press conference that Jasprit Bumrah has been asked to off-load for 5 weeks minimum, confirming that he will definitely miss the first two ODIs against England.
Harshit Rana is the fourth frontline seamer in the side, after Bumrah, Shami and Arshdeep. No place for Siraj.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Agarkar on Bumrah
Here's exactly what Ajit Agarkar said regarding Jasprit Bumrah's fitness and availability: "Bumrah 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."
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Karun Nair heartbreak
Heartbreak for Karun Nair, whose 752 runs in 7 innings in the Vijay Hazare Trophy wasn't enough to get him picked.
"It was difficult to find a place and all those who have been picked have averaged in mid 40s," Agarkar says, defending the choice of batters in the 15-man squad.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Agarkar defends Gill leadership
"Shubman Gill was vice-captain in Sri Lanka anyway. A lot of the feedback comes from the dressing room as well," Agarkar says, speaking on Gill being appointed vice-captain.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit-Gambhir relationship
ROHIT ON RELATIONSHIP WITH GAMBHIR:
"Gautam Gambhir is such that once we're on the field, he trusts the captain to make the decisions on the field. That's the sort of trust we have," Rohit Sharma says.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Arshdeep over Siraj explained
ROHIT ON ARSHDEEP OVER SIRAJ:
"With Bumrah missing or not sure, we wanted a bowler who can bowl both at the start and at the back end. Shami was back, and Siraj's effectiveness comes down a bit if it's not with the new ball. We are taking only 3 seamers because we are taking multiple all-rounders."
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Kuldeep, Shami in
Despite injury concerns and lack of clarity over fitness, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav and pacer Mohammed Shami have been chosen for the 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy.
India have also picked 4 spin options: Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit on busy schedule
ROHIT ON DOMESTIC CRICKET:
"In the last 6-7 years, there haven't been much time when players in the senior squad have had any time. When you play so much international cricket throughout the years, you need some time off as well. Nobody takes it for granted," says Rohit.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: "Not a diktat"
"As selectors, you explain people to play domestic cricket when they are available. When the time permits, we expect them to play," Ajit Agarkar says on the 10-point guideline by BCCI.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No place for Samson, Siraj
Sanju Samson and Mohammed Siraj are the two big names not featuring in India's squad. The latter, in particular, has been a constant part of India's recent squads, but is not even named as a back-up.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 6-Bowler Formula?
Former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has stated that a 6-bowler formula is the right way to go for Team India, with Hardik Pandya as the sixth bowler and 5 specialist bowlers.
Sidhu states that this formula worked for Gambhir at KKR and for Rohit Sharma and Team India at the T20 World Cup 2024.
KKR: Starc, Narine, Chakravarthy, Rana, Arora, Russell
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 3 uncapped stars in the fray
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Reddy and Varun Chakravarthy are all in contention to be selected but neither have a single ODI cap for India. Jaiswal is a shoo-in, at least as a backup opener, Nitish Reddy is a like-for-like deputy to Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy could sneak in if Kuldeep isn't fit.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Debates and discussions!
It is not easy to finalize a 15-man squad for a Champions Trophy in a country brimming with cricket talent like India, and perhaps the delay shows how tough a job it is!
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Vijay Hazare final on!
As we wait for the India squad announcement for the Champions Trophy, we can also keep one eye on the Vijay Hazare Trophy final between Karnataka and Vidarbha.
Karnataka have been put into bat, but have lost in-form Devdutt Padikkal early! They are 49/1 in 9 overs.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Will Bumrah make the cut?
There has been no clarity surrounding Jasprit Bumrah's fitness and availability for the Champions Trophy. As per a report by India Today, Bumrah is likely to be selected, but whether he plays depends on his fitness.
Remember, India can also make changes to their squad till February 13, one week before their first CT 2025 game.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: More than 1 hr delay
The press conference was scheduled to start at 12:30 PM, but the suspense has been carried on for more than 1 hour 15 minutes since, with the selection meeting still going on at the Wankhede Stadium. Are there any late surprises in store?
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Cause of delay!
The selection meeting for India's Champions Trophy squad is still underway at the Wankhede, and further delay of the press conference is possible as per Indian Express journalist Devendra Pandey.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Vice-captaincy
Rohit Sharma is certain to be captain, but the role of vice-captain is one of big debate. Shubman Gill was vice-captain for the Sri Lanka ODI series in 2024, but Jasprit Bumrah impressed in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, Axar Patel has been named vice-captain for the T20I series against England. And, lest we forget about Hardik Pandya.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli continues to be India's stalwart in ODI cricket. Player of the Tournament at the 2023 World Cup, there is little doubt surrounding Kohli's selection. However, will this be his last chance at a 50-over trophy?
Kohli has also recently suffered a neck sprain recently, and has informed the BCCI medical team that he won't be able to play the Ranji Trophy game from January 23.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: England series too!
Not just the Champions Trophy, India will also announce the squad for the England ODI series. It will be intriguing to see whether India announce identical squads as preparation, or whether players like Karun Nair are rewarded with a spot in the England series.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Shami to make comeback?
Mohammed Shami is already confirmed for the five-match T20I series, but whether he is ready to bowl 10-over spells for the Champions Trophy at international level will be a query answered today by Rohit and Agarkar.
On pure skill and merit, Bumrah and Shami's places in the India XI cannot be questioned.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Not long to go!
The press conference for India's squad announcement for the Champions Trophy 2025 will be underway shortly! Stay tuned, right here on NDTV Sports, for the live updates!
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: BCCI's 10-point diktat
What will also be interesting to take away from the press conference would be Rohit and Agarkar's say on the 10-point guideline implemented by the BCCI on the Indian players. Increased emphasis on domestic cricket and restrictions on family members staying with players on tours were the major points from the diktat.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit Sharma confirmed captain
If there was any doubt, Rohit Sharma is definitely going to captain India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Test struggles aside, Rohit's record in ODI cricket has been stunning, and he led the team phenomenally in the 2023 World Cup as well.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No Axar for Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan have left Axar Patel out of their India side for the Champions Trophy 2025, in favour of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Axar being dropped would be a surprise given his versatility with both bat and ball.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The spin debate
Perhaps the most uncertain part of India's Champions Trophy squad is how the spin department will shape up. In Dubai conditions, India will be hoping to include 3 spinners in the playing XI, and that could mean as many as 4 spinners get picked.
Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi are the major options present to Rohit, Agarkar and co.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No Gautam Gambhir
Remember, India head coach Gautam Gambhir will not be present at the press conference today. His final input reportedly came on Friday evening, as him and Rohit sat down in a discussion with the selectors.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Jaiswal over Gill?
Sunil Gavaskar never shies away from a bold opinion, and he has stated on Star Sports that Yashasvi Jaiswal should open the batting for India over Shubman Gill. Jaiswal is yet to make his ODI debut, while Gill averages 58 in the format.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Underway soon!
We are set to get underway any time now for the Champions Trophy 2025 squad announcement for Team India. Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar will address the press conference, scheduled to start from 12:30 PM IST.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The wicket-keeper saga
KL Rahul appears to be the favourite, but only one of Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson will likely make the cut. However, should India choose to go with increased batting depth, both could be picked as well.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Confusion around Bumrah
It will also be interesting to see whether Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma provide a timeline regarding Bumrah's return to action, or whether it still remains unclear even if he is selected for the 15-man squad.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No clarity on Bumrah yet
There has no clarity from the BCCI yet regarding Jasprit Bumrah's availability for the Champions Trophy. After suffering back spasms in the final Test, much has been said about Bumrah's fitness, with the pacer even explicitly quashing a report that he was adviced bed rest. But will he play CT 2025? That's a question we still don't have an answer for.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Will "leaks" be addressed?
Several leaks, rumours and reports have surrounded Team India in recent weeks, following their disastrous Test form, with the latest being a report by News 24 claiming that Gambhir told the BCCI that Sarfaraz Khan was to blame for the dressing room leaks. It will be interesting to see whether these murmurs are addressed by Rohit and Agarkar today.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 30 minutes to go!
We are just 30 minutes away from the scheduled start of the press conference of the India squad announcement for the Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series vs England.
Captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar will be present. Head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be involved, having been consulted by the selection commitee last evening.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Injury worries for India
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have reportedly informed to the BCCI medical team that they are suffering from injuries that would prevent them for participating in the Ranji Trophy games starting January 23.
Kohli has been bogged down by a neck sprain, while Rahul is nursing an elbow issue.
India will be hoping these concerns don't carry over to the ODIs against England, with both players being vital members of India's ODI XI.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Vijay Hazare Trophy final
While the squad announcement is taking place, the Vijay Hazare Trophy final between Karnataka and Vidarbha will also get underway from 1:30 PM IST. Karun Nair, Devdutt Padikkal and Mayank Agarwal are some of the fringe India players who've had an excellent domestic run, and would be hoping to make another impression.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Announcement in 1 hour
The press conference for India's squad announcement for the Champions Trophy and the ODI series against England is expected to start at 12:30 PM IST, just one hour on from now. Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar will be present, in the event taking place at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The pace attack
Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be provisionally selected, while Mohammed Shami's inclusion for the 5 T20Is vs England shows that he is also in the reckoning. Mohammed Siraj has also been a regular for a long time, and it is unlikely he will miss out.
Arshdeep Singh is the favourite if either of these three don't make it, while Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna will also be in the mix.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Karun Nair for England ODIs?
While reports have suggested that Karun Nair may miss out on the 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy, he may be rewarded for his red-hot form with a spot in India's team for the three-match ODI series vs England.
It’s great that more importance is being given to domestic cricket. Though 33, but with the kind ofdomestic one day season Karun Nair has had, it would be good to see him for the ODI’s against England. Would also help in motivating players to play and perform in domestic cricket
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Who misses out?
The likes of Shivam Dube, Arshdeep Singh, Riyan Parag, Khaleel Ahmed and Harshit Rana were included for India's last ODI squad vs Sri Lanka, but all might miss out on the Champions Trophy 15.
Parag is injured, and Arshdeep might make it in if Bumrah or Shami miss out. Dube, Arshdeep and Rana are all on the fringes.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Jadeja's spot in threat
The increased importance of Axar Patel in white-ball cricket and the rise of Washington Sundar in the post-Dravid era could see Ravindra Jadeja miss out on the Champions Trophy 2025 squad. The man who won the Player of the Match award in the 2013 final did not play an ODI in 2024, and his Test form hasn't been top-notch off late either.
At 36, does Jadeja have another major ICC tournament in him?
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Who will be vice-captain?
Rohit Sharma will remain captain, almost certainly. But the role of vice-captain is wide open. Jasprit Bumrah has shown his skills in Tests, but will he be given the same responsibility for the Champions Trophy given his injury concern?
Shubman Gill was the vice-captain for the Sri Lanka tour in 2024, while Axar Patel is also in the mix after being named deputy for the England T20Is. And one can never really count out Hardik Pandya, although it seems unlikely under Gambhir.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Injury concerns?
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will not be playing the next round of Ranji Trophy matches due to injuries, according to a report by ESPNCricinfo. According to the report, both cricketers have informed the BCCI medical staff that they are carrying niggles and will not be able to take part in the matches starting January 23.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Bumrah In or Out?
Jasprit Bumrah suffered back spasms in the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but his participation in the Champions Trophy 2025 is up in the air. As per a report by India Today, Bumrah is likely to picked, but whether he plays will depend on how he recovers.
Remember, teams can make changes to their final squad till February 13.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: "Samson 1st choice"
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a rather bold selection in his 15-man squad, stating that his first-choice wicket-keeper would be Sanju Samson, even ahead of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Sanju Samson to miss out
As per a report by India Today, the key reason why Sanju Samson will miss out on the 15-man squad because of his non-participation in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Samson had missed Kerala's training camp, and paid the price by not being included in their squad.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Pant vs Samson
KL Rahul's recent ODI experience should give him the edge, but it will be a close call as to who makes the squad between Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. Let's look at the arguments for both:
Pant: Has impressed in Test cricket after returning from injury, and played ahead of Samson in the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. However, ODI cricket has arguably been Pant's least successful format.
Samson: Sensational T20I form in 2024 saw him register 3 centuries. But his last ODI was in 2023, although he did score a century in that game. Missed out on the Vijay Hazare Trophy, for state side Kerala.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Nitish Reddy's chance?
In July, Nitish Reddy had told NDTV that he was preparing to play the 'Hardik Pandya role'. 6 months and a maiden Test century later, could he now be in the reckoning in 50-over cricket? Pandya's fitness haunted India even in the 2023 World Cup, and Reddy could be a like-for-like replacement should anything happen to the senior pro.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 3 uncapped stars in line?
The big name, who has taken the world of cricket by storm in 2024, but has somehow still not made his ODI debut, is Yashasvi Jaiswal. Everyone fancies that the left-hander will make the cut for the squad, with many like legendary opener Virender Sehwag tipping Jaiswal for the final 15.
On the other hand, there is also a debate over Varun Chakravarthy and Nitish Reddy to make the squad, despite both having never played an ODI for India.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Not just Karun Nair
Karun Nair isn't the only India hopeful to make a serious impression in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Devdutt Padikkal has been in the form of his life, and has over 2,000 List A runs at an average of 82! It is the highest 50-over average of any cricketer ever to have scored that amount of runs.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Varun Chakravarthy debut?
It is no secret that Varun Chakravarthy performed admirably under Gautam Gambhir at KKR, but it is also a fact that he was phenomenal upon his comeback in T20Is. If Kuldeep Yadav misses out due to injury, there could be a chance that Chakravarthy gets picked as India's wrist-spin option.
Remember, Varun Chakravarthy is yet to make his debut in ODI cricket.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Time up for Jadeja?
Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20I cricket following the T20 World Cup 2024 win, but was not included in the squad for the three ODIs vs Sri Lanka. On that choice, Gautam Gambhir stated that he was rested, but his form has since also faded in Test cricket.
Will the 36-year-old, Player of the Match in the final when India won the CT in 2013, get one more tournament?
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Is Kuldeep fit?
Kuldeep Yadav has been out of action for a while, but the chinaman posted this recently, possibly signalling that he might make it in time for the Champions Trophy:
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Spin conundrum
One overlooked aspect of India's Champions Trophy squad is the debate for the spinner. Axar Patel is likely to feature, but there is no clarity over who the other options would be.
Washington Sundar featured for India in the previous series vs Sri Lanka, and seems to be in Gautam Gambhir's radar. But is time up for Ravindra Jadeja? Is Kuldeep Yadav fit? Is Varun Chakravarthy, with 0 ODIs in his belt, set to be called up? Many questions to be answered today.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Virat Kohli's injury concern
As per a report by Times of India, Virat Kohli has suffered a neck sprain, for which he even had to take injections. This could see him miss out on a long-awaited Ranji Trophy comeback, but India will be hoping he remains fit for the England series and Champions Trophy.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The ultimate praise!
The great Sachin Tendulkar took time out to hail Karun Nair's recent performances. Here's what he said:
Scoring 752 runs in 7 innings with 5 centuries is nothing short of extraordinary, @karun126. Performances like these don't just happen, they come from immense focus and hard work. Keep going strong and make every opportunity count!
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Any chance for Karun?
However, a nod from the BCCI towards how players are faring in domestic cricket would be if they at least include Karun Nair in the squad for the three-match ODI series against England.
However, with the series possibly serving as warm-up for the Champions Trophy, it would not be a surprise to see India pick identical squads for both events.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Why Karun Nair may miss out
Karun Nair has amassed 752 runs in 7 innings in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024/25, a feat that Sachin Tendulkar described as "nothing short of extraordinary". But the report states that Karun Nair will also not make the cut. Why?
Reportedly, the selectors are not willing to recall a player who last played for India in 2017 right before a massive tournament.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit and Gambhir have say!
As per the India Today report, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma were involved in a virtual discussion with the selection committee on Friday evening. Rohit will be present alongside chief selector Ajit Agarkar today to announce the final 15-man squad.
India's Squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The point of contention
The big point of debate is probably for the wicket-keeper batter role. One name among KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson will likely miss out.
KL Rahul performed admirably at the 2023 World Cup, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he holds a slight advantage over the other two in ODI cricket.
India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Major update on Bumrah
Indian cricket team star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be included in the 15-member squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, according to a report by India Today.
India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Karun Nair an option?
Karun Nair has really emerged as a major force following a sensational run in domestic cricket. Nair's numbers are impressive in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and that is one of the reasons why he has emerged as a surprise option for the Champions Trophy.
India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Hello and welcome
Welcome to the Indian cricket team squad announcement for the Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series against England. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma expected to make the cut, questions remain over pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami along with a tough call on the wicket-keepers.

Pant: Has impressed in Test cricket after returning from injury, and played ahead of Samson in the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. However, ODI cricket has arguably been Pant's least successful format.
Samson: Sensational T20I form in 2024 saw him register 3 centuries. But his last ODI was in 2023, although he did score a century in that game. Missed out on the Vijay Hazare Trophy, for state side Kerala.
