The debate over hosting the Champions Trophy 2025 is not stopping. The Pakistan Cricket Board has suggested organizing the tournament in a hybrid model. But so far there has been no official update from the International Cricket Council (ICC) on this matter. Meanwhile, discussions have started among Indian cricket fans about the team. In such a situation, let us know what India’s team can be like for the Champions Trophy 2025?
This could be the Indian team for Champions Trophy 2025
Indian selectors can select a 15-member team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 , which will be led by Indian captain Rohit Sharma. However, there is speculation that experienced batsman KL Rahul may be ignored. His performance in limited overs cricket has not been very good in the past. His performance in the ODI series played against Sri Lanka in August was not very good. In such a situation, now after the T20 World Cup 2024, he may also have to lose the Champions Trophy.
Will the veteran player be cut?
Apart from KL Rahul, Team India’s elderly player Ravichandran Ashwin may also be dropped. Washington Sundar is likely to be included in the team in his place. Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli will get a place in the batting department. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel may be selected as wicketkeepers. Mohammad Siraj, Mohammad Shami, Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Singh can be given a chance as bowlers.
There is a controversy regarding hosting
The Champions Trophy (Champions Trophy 2025) will be held in February-March next year. Pakistan was given the responsibility of hosting it, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian government refused to send the players there. In such a situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board proposed to organize the tournament in a hybrid model and demanded that if any global tournament is organized in India, then it should also get this option. However, the ICC has not yet given the green signal to this condition of PCB.
