India has announced its provisional 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which begins on February 19, 2025. The team will be led by Rohit Sharma, with Shubman Gill serving as vice-captain. The squad features a mix of experienced players and emerging talents, reflecting a strategic approach as India aims for success in the tournament.
India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Ravindra Jadeja.
Key Points:
- Jasprit Bumrah’s selection is notable due to recent injury concerns; he suffered from back spasms but has been included in the squad
- Mohammed Shami returns after recovering from an Achilles tendon surgery and was the leading wicket-taker in the 2023 ODI World Cup
- The squad lacks fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, primarily due to fitness issues surrounding Bumrah, which influenced the selection of other pace bowlers
- India will play their matches in Dubai, starting with a game against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by matches against Pakistan and New Zealand
