- There is a lot of controversy going on regarding the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025. Meanwhile, the 15 players to play for India have almost been selected. At the same time, Rohit and Virat have been rejected.
Champions Trophy 2025: There is a lot of controversy over the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025. Because this ICC event is to be held in Pakistan. But BCCI has refused to send Team India to Pakistan citing bad political and security reasons. Also, there has been a demand to organize the tournament under the hybrid model. But Pakistan is not in favor of this at all, so the schedule of the ICC event has not been released yet. But it will be announced soon.
There is every possibility that the full schedule of the ICC event will be revealed by next week. In such a situation, it will be known in the coming days whether India goes to Pakistan or not, but it is certain that India will definitely play in this tournament. In such a situation, some big updates have come out regarding what the Indian team will be like.
Rishabh Pant will captain Team India for Champions Trophy 2025!
If we talk about Team India’s squad for Champions Trophy 2025, then the responsibility of captaincy can be handed over to Rishabh Pant. The decision to make Pant the captain is a thinking for the future. Also, BCCI would also like that under Rohit Sharma, Pant can understand all the tricks of captaincy and be fully trained for the future.
In such a situation, Virat can also be rested from this tournament along with Rohit. In this situation, Pant will be the perfect contender to become the captain. Sanju Samson can be chosen in place of Kohli, who can prove himself right in his place at number-3. Yashasvi Jaiswal can be confirmed in place of Rohit Sharma.
Sanju and Jaiswal’s luck may shine
It is known that Sanju Samson has shown good performance recently. He scored three centuries in T20. Last year he scored a century at number three in ODIs. In such a situation, he is sure to get a chance. Jaiswal has played well for India in both formats (Champions Trophy 2025) so far. This is the reason why he can get a chance in ODIs. In fast bowling, Mohammad Shami and Siraj can get a chance along with Jasprit Bumrah. Along with this, Prasidh Krishna can also be selected.
