The Indian team for the Champions Trophy 2025 is going to be announced on Saturday. Team India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma will hold a joint press conference, in which India’s 15-member team will be announced. The Champions Trophy will begin on February 19 and the final match will be played on March 9. Most of the matches will be played in Pakistan, but Team India’s matches will be played in Dubai under the hybrid model. But the question still remains that which players will get a chance in Team India?
According to India Today, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have a place in the team. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah, who has been suffering from back pain since the Sydney Test against Australia, will also be included in the 15-member squad. But whether Bumrah will play in the tournament or not depends on his fitness. Karun Nair, who has so far scored 752 runs in 7 innings of Vijay Hazare Trophy, has scored 5 centuries from his bat. Nair is unlikely to get a place in the Champions Trophy team. On the other hand, Sanju Samson may also not get a place in the final list of 15 players.
India can include Hardik Pandya, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the squad as all-rounder players for the Champions Trophy. A big question is whether Mohammed Shami will be a part of the squad or not? Shami was recently included in the squad for the T20 series against England. Let us also tell you that this team will not be final because each team can make changes in their squad before the tournament starts.
India’s probable squad for Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj.
