Many players have retired 

As you know, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Shikhar Dhawan, and R Ashwin have retired. Ajinkya Rahane, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, and Manish Pandey, who were selected for the Champions Trophy 2017, have not played matches for India for a long time. Rahane played an international match for the team in a blue jersey for the last time in 2023, Manish in 2021, Umesh Yadav in 2023, and Bhuvi in ​​2022. In such a situation, the return of all these players seems almost impossible. Because the selectors are betting on young players.

This time also 6 players will be seen in Team India

Let’s talk about the other players who were part of Team India in the last blue jersey match of the Champions Trophy 2017. These include Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Mohammad Shami. All of them may get a chance this time. However, BCCI has not yet announced India’s team for the 2025 Champions Trophy. But the place of 6 players is certainly confirmed.
