Indian cricket team announced for Champions Trophy 2025, four new faces and four players got the price of being out.

The Indian Cricket Board on Saturday announced the Indian team for the Champions Trophy 2025. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma announced the team in a press conference. Last time, India had performed brilliantly in an ODI ICC tournament played on home soil in 2023, but lost to Australia in the final. Now, the Indian team has again got a chance to win the ICC tournament in 50-over cricket, and the team has been selected.

However, it is interesting to know how many changes have taken place in the Indian team selected for the last and this time ICC tournaments. After the ODI World Cup 2023, the Indian team has played only two ODI series, but is also scheduled to play a series against England before the Champions Trophy.

• Ishan Kishan: He is out of the team due to not following the board's guidelines.
• Shardul Thakur: He has lost his place in all formats.
