The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the squads for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the three-match ODI series against England. Rohit Sharma will captain the team in both tournaments, with Shubman Gill as the vice-captain.
Jasprit Bumrah has secured a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy squad despite recent injury concerns. Bumrah, who sustained an injury during the fifth Test against Australia, has been declared fit to rejoin the team. Mohammed Shami also makes a comeback, having last played an ODI in 2023.
Promising young players Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who were rested during the T20I series against England, are part of the squad. The team features seasoned players like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, both set to take on wicket-keeping responsibilities. Additionally, Shreyas Iyer returns to strengthen the batting lineup.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be held in Dubai, with India aiming to leave a strong impression under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.
The squad for the three-match ODI series against England remains largely unchanged, with a few notable updates. Harshit Rana has been named as a backup option for Jasprit Bumrah in case of any fitness issues. Additionally, Virat Kohli makes a return to the ODI lineup, further bolstering the batting order.
