Team India will be announced today for the Champions Trophy, Yashasvi-Shami's entry confirmed!, will injured Bumrah get a place?

The Indian team for Champions Trophy 2025 is going to be announced on Saturday. Team India's Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Indian Cricket Team Captain Rohit Sharma will hold a press conference together, in which India's 15-member team will be announced. The Champions Trophy will start on 19 February and the final match will be played on 9 March. Most of the matches will be played in Pakistan, but Team India's matches will be played in Dubai under the hybrid model. But the question still remains that which players will get a chance in Team India?

The place of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul is certain in the team. Jasprit Bumrah, who has been suffering from back pain since the Sydney Test against Australia, will also be included in the 15-member squad. But whether Bumrah will play in the tournament or not depends on his fitness.

Yashasvi-Shami will also enter?

Where Rohit Sharma will captain the Indian team. Whereas Shubman Gill and former captain Virat Kohli can join the team as specialist batsmen. Shreyas Iyer's place in the team also seems certain, who is showing excellent form in domestic cricket. Whereas Yashasvi Jaiswal can be included in the team as a backup opener.

At the same time, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are likely to get a place in the squad as wicketkeeper batsmen. Hardik Pandya's role is going to be very important in the Champions Trophy. Hardik will not only want to show a brilliant game with the bat, but in bowling too, a strong game will be expected from this star all-rounder.

Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja can be included in the spin department. Four specialist fast bowlers can be included in the fast bowling unit. Along with Bumrah, experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami can also be seen bowling in this mega tournament. Apart from this, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj can also catch the flight to Dubai with Team India. Since Arshdeep is a left arm fast bowler, his presence will bring variety to the attack.

Probable 15-member Indian squad: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj.

Keep an eye on these players too:Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Washington Sundar, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dubey, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Karun Nair.

Let us tell you that there will be a total of 15 matches between 8 teams in the Champions Trophy 2025. The teams have been divided into 2 groups. India and Pakistan are in the same Group-A. The remaining two teams along with them are New Zealand and Bangladesh. Whereas South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and England have been kept in Group-B. All 8 teams will play 3-3 matches in their respective groups. After this, the top-2 teams of each group will qualify for the semi-finals. The first semi-final will be held in Dubai, while the second will be held in Lahore. After this the final match will be played. In such a situation, if a team reaches the finals, it will play a total of 5 matches in the tournament.
