ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India’s probable squad and probable 11

India broke their ICC jinx earlier in 2024 when they won the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States of America. Next on the ICC trophy list will be the Champions Trophy 2025, which they last won in 2013 in a famous shortened encounter against England. 

Only three players - Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja - have survived from that 2013 squad and will be key players heading into the 2025 season. There are no words yet on Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness, which will put the responsibility on the shoulders of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj.

India kick off their competition against Bangladesh on February 20. The much-awaited India-Pakistan clash will be on February 23 in Dubai before the team rounds up against New Zealand on March 2.
