India Squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Unveiled

India`s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 features Shubman Gill as vice-captain, with notable selections and exclusions.

The Indian cricket team has officially announced its squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series against England. This announcement, made on January 18, 2025, was marked by significant decisions and some controversies that have stirred discussions among fans and analysts alike. Captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed the media during a press conference to unveil the 15-man squad.

One of the most notable decisions was the appointment of Shubman Gill as the vice-captain for the Champions Trophy. This choice has received mixed reactions, with some fans supporting the decision while others expressed skepticism. Additionally, Jasprit Bumrah`s inclusion in the squad, despite ongoing injury concerns, has drawn considerable attention. His recent injury history has made this decision a focal point for many observers.

The selection committee faced tough choices regarding the wicket-keeper position, with KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Sanju Samson all in contention. KL Rahul`s impressive performance during the 2023 World Cup appears to give him an advantage in the ODI format. However, the exclusion of Karun Nair, who excelled in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024/25 with 752 runs in seven innings, has disappointed many fans who believed he deserved a spot based on his recent form.

The squad reflects a balanced selection, with established players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma expected to play pivotal roles. Mohammed Shami, who has also recovered from injury, has been included, adding depth to the bowling lineup. The decisions surrounding Bumrah`s inclusion and Nair`s exclusion have become major talking points, with fans actively sharing their opinions on social media platforms. For more details, check out the squad announcement and the reactions to Gill`s vice-captaincy.
