Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya have all made it to India’s squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025. The trio last featured in the ODI format at the 2023 World Cup. The 15-man squad announced on Saturday afternoon (January 18) will be led by Rohit Sharma with Shubman Gill serving as his deputy and has a notable inclusion in Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is yet to make his ODI debut.
Bumrah’s selection is conditional to him recovering fully from the back spasms he suffered at the fag end of India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a campaign in which he sent down a staggering 151.2 overs for his 32 wickets at 13.06. He will not be fit for the start of the England series which precedes the Champions Trophy with Harshit Rana replacing him for the three-match series.
India squad for the Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill (vc), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Rishabh Pant(wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah*, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal
