Jasprit Bumrah was included while fellow fast bowler Mohammed Shami made a comeback as India announced their squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit Sharma will lead the side in the competition with Shubman Gill acting as his deputy. "We are waiting on Jasprit Bumrah's fitness and will know his status in early February from BCCI's medical team," chief selector Ajit Agarkar said during the press conference. The same squad will also take on England in the three-match ODI series with Harshit Rana included for ODI series only keeping Bumrah's fitness in mind.
Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul will be the two wicketkeepers for both the Champions Trophy and England ODI series. There's no place for pacer Mohammed Siraj though, as India has opted to go with left-arm fast-bowler Arshdeep Singh.
