Indian cricket team for ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India will host England for three ODI matches on February 6, 9 and 12. Since Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness for the matches against England is still uncertain, Harshit Rana will be in the squad as backup for the three-match series.

While Rohit Sharma will continue to lead the Indian cricket team both against England and in the Champions Trophy, Shubman Gill has been chosen as the vice-captain of the team.

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, meanwhile, has been handed his maiden ODI call-up. The 22-year-old southpaw enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2024 and emerged as India’s top run getter in Tests, scoring 1478 runs in 15 matches at an average of over 50.
