BCCI has announced India's squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, set to start from February 19.

Originally hosted by Pakistan, India shall play all their matches in Dubai after the government denied travel to Pakistan due to security reasons.

Captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were present at the press conference at Wankhede Stadium and announced the team for the Champions Trophy, as well as the ODI series against England.

Virat Kohli's hunger for runs and his ability to chase down daunting targets make him indispensable. With an illustrious record in ICC tournaments, the former captain will be eager to add another trophy to his cabinet, especially after criticism in red ball cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja offers both stability and firepower. His left-arm spin and dynamic fielding add depth to the squad, while his ability to score quick runs under pressure makes him a vital asset. In the pace department, Mohammed Shami is back in the team after more than a year of absence. Jasprit Bumrah has also been included despite a back injury and the duo will be pivotal for the team in the Champions Trophy.

Rishabh Pant, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman, has been included as Sanju Samson has missed out. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also been handed his maiden ODI call-up.

Shubman Gill, whose place in the team was under scanner, has been promoted as the vice-captain in the ODI format. Kuldeep Yadav is set to feature in the 50-over format, whereas both Axar Patel and Washington Sundar are named in the team.
