ICC Champions Trophy 2025 India Squad Announcement LIVE: Amid the delay in announcing the squad for CT 2025, the BCCI on Saturday announced the Team India squad for upcoming five-match T20I series against England, beginning from 22 January in Kolkata. Mohammad Shami has been called again to lead the pace attack for India.

The Indian squad will be again led by Suryakumar Yadav, while all-rounder Axar Patel has been made the vice-captain for the IDFC First Bank five-match T20I series.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India who were all set to unveil the squad for Team India, are likely to delay the squad announcement today i.e. January 12, as per reports. According to the ICC, the apex board has set 12 January as the deadline for all teams participating in the tournament to unveil their preliminary squads.

Who are likely to make a cut in the Champions Trophy India squad?

Out-of-form veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will continue to form the batting core of India’s ODI squad, however, three senior players whose future in the 50-over format could be debated when the selectors gather this weekend to pick the squad for the Champions Trophy.

India will play all their Champions Trophy games in Dubai, starting with the clash against Bangladesh on February 20. This came after the team refused to travel to original hosts Pakistan citing security concerns.

Following a not-so-satisfactory performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Team India look futuristic for the upcoming white-ball tournaments including England’s tour to India, followed by ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
