Aakash Chopra criticizes India`s Champions Trophy squad, focusing on Jaiswal`s exclusion and Bumrah`s absence.

Aakash Chopra has voiced strong criticism regarding the Indian cricket team`s squad selection for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. His primary concern revolves around the exclusion of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was part of the preliminary squad but ultimately left out in favor of spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Chopra took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disappointment, questioning the rationale behind this decision and advocating for Jaiswal`s inclusion in the playing XI over Shreyas Iyer.

Additionally, Chopra highlighted the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who is currently recovering from a back injury. He argued that this situation should have warranted the inclusion of Mohammed Siraj, yet Siraj was also omitted from the final squad, replaced by Harshit Rana.

India`s final squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 features prominent players such as Rohit Sharma (Captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill (Vice-captain). The team will kick off their campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh, followed by a high-stakes match against Pakistan on February 23, and will conclude the group stage with a game against New Zealand on March 2.
