India’s Squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The BCCI announced India’s 15-member squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy in Dubai with Rohit Sharma returning as captain for yet another 50-over ICC tournament.
Returning to the international schedule after eight years, the Champions Trophy will be held in a hybrid model with India playing their matches in Dubai while the remaining games will be held in three venues in Pakistan. India will open their campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh, followed by group games against Pakistan and New Zealand in the eight-team tournament.
India and Pakistan had met in the final of the previous edition in 2017 at the Oval where the Men in Blue suffered a massive defeat against their arch-rivals. India had previously clinched the trophy in 2013 under MS Dhoni’s leadership. They were adjudged joint-overs of the title in 2002 alongside Sri Lanka after a washed-out final.
India Champions Trophy 2025 squad:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill (vice captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja
Note: Harshit Rana will be in place of Bumrah for the series against England
