India Cricket Team spinner Varun Chakravarthy is all set to be part of the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that spinner is likely to added into the team for tournament around 11th February. 
On Tuesday (4th February), BCCI added Varun Chakravarthy added into the Indian team for the ODI series against England. The mystery spinner wasn't part of the ODI squad, but with the way he performed in the T20Is, he made selectors to add him to the team. 
Varun Chakravarthy picked 14 wickets in the T20I series against England and troubled the batters all throughout the series. He also became the bowler with the most number of wickets for India in the T20I series and also won the Player of the Match award. 
The reports in RevSportz claimed that Varun Chakravarthy has been added to the team so that India team management can see if he is fit to play the ODI. If he impresses management, then he is likely to be added to the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>Varun Chakravarthy is yet to make his debut for India in ODIs</h2>
Varun Chakravarthy is yet to make his debut for India in ODIs. The reports in Indian Express recently stated that he is poised for the debut in the first game against England, but the major question remains who he will replace in the team, especially with every player having a defined position. 
Varun Chakravarthy will be entering the ODI series on the back of his staggering performances with the ball in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He was the second leading wicket-taker in the tournament as he picked 18 wickets in the event and, in all, has played 23 games in the format. 
Varun Chakravarthy made his comeback into the Indian team during the T20I series against Bangladesh. Since then, he has been putting in hard yards and is consistently performing for the team in the shortest format of the game. He would be keen to replicate the same heroics in ODIs as well.

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series.

The Indian Cricket Team successfully defeated England by a strong margin of 4-1 in the five-match T20 International series at home and now both teams are gearing up to take on each other in a three-match One Day International Series. This series is going to act as a preparatory ground for both teams ahead of Champions Trophy 2025.
However, things are not looking good for the Rohit Sharma-led outfit as they have been handed a huge blow ahead of the ODI series versus the Three Lions as ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the entire series since he has failed to recover on time from the injury he suffered versus Australia in the Sydney Test-Match. 
In his place, Varun Chakaravarthy has been drafted into the squad for the three-match series. Following the conclusion of this ODI series, the Men in Blue will go to Dubai in order to take part in the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy from the 20th of February. In such a situation, Bumrah's unavailability due to injury is a huge blow to the Rohit Sharma-led outfit's ambition of sweeping the ODI series versus England and lift the Champions Trophy for the first time since 2013.
If the 31-year-old pacer fails to recover on time, then he will surely miss the Champions Trophy and the question which arises here is that if the Mumbai Indians pacer is set to miss the Marquee ICC event of this year, then who will take his place in the team? Let us tell you that four players can be considered for the role of replacing him. We will be taking a look at those four players in this article. 
<h2>4. Avesh Khan</h2>
<img src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1853725701/photo/indias-avesh-khan-celebrates-with-teammates-shreyas-iyer-after-dismissing-south-africas-aiden.jpg?s=612x612&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=-6WAdQVkB0VfhhXSQbYOKXcznfaa8yH0ZgAqI5XxSZ4=" alt="India's Avesh Khan celebrates with teammates Shreyas Iyer after dismissing South Africa's Aiden Markram during the 1st ODI cricket match between..." width="488" height="325" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
28-year-old Avesh Khan can be considered as an option to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy. He is a tall fast bowler who knows how to bowl with good pace and he is known to hit the deck hard with his short-pitched deliveries. Avesh also took part in all of the three ODI matches versus South Africa in 2023 and his pace and bounce can create a lot of issues for opposition batters in Champions Trophy 2025.
He has nine wickets to his name in eight One-Day Internationals and he ended that series as the 2nd highest wicket-taker behind Arshdeep Singh with six scalps to his name. 
All in all, the skillset of the 28-year-old and his experience of bowling well versus top International players in the IPL make him a strong contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad.
<h2>3. Khaleel Ahmed</h2>
<img src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2155703206/photo/new-york-new-york-khaleel-ahmed-of-india-poses-for-a-portrait-prior-to-the-icc-mens-t20.jpg?s=612x612&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=xwfMtUfNaUHRx8WEWOEWtpV2oh4GRzLk0lvyKocWVYM=" alt="Khaleel Ahmed of India poses for a portrait prior to the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies &amp; USA 2024 on June 01, 2024 in New York, New..." width="501" height="334" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed is another player who might be considered to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad. Yes, he might not be a popular choice but certainly, he can do the job if given the chance. 
He was a part of the Indian Team as a reserve player for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. He was included in the team after performing in a brilliant manner with the ball for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2024.
He helped them get early wickets in the powerplay overs and was also impressive in the death overs. The 27-year-old has always been considered by the Indian management for the limited-overs formats and he has taken part in 18 T20 International games and 11 One-Day International contests for the Men in Blue. 
Talking about his stats in both formats, he has dismissed 16 batters in the shortest format of the game at an average of 35.13 and an okayish economy rate of 8.52. In terms of ODI's, the 27-year-old has 15 scalps to his name in 11 encounters at a decent average of 31 and a good economy rate of 5.81.
Khaleel is one of the few left-arm seamers to have been developed by the Indian coaching team to become the next big thing and if the 27-year-old finds a way to become a little more consistent and improve his economy rate, then there's no stopping him from replacing Bumrah in Champions Trophy.
<h2>2. Mukesh Kumar</h2>
<img src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1819250389/photo/bangalore-india-mukesh-kumar-of-india-matt-short-of-australia-during-game-five-of-the-t20.jpg?s=612x612&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=o7Pc7uWzA1Wc92pBC6PNz8AS3NzctHn14RHdjgSa5hg=" alt="Mukesh Kumar of India Matt Short of Australia during game five of the T20 International series between India and Australia at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium..." width="445" height="296" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
Right-arm fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, hailing from the Gopalganj town of Bihar, can be considered a genuine contender to fill the void left by Bumrah if he misses the Champions Trophy. 
He has the ability to do wonders in the whiteball format. He knows how to catch the batters off guard with his swinging deliveries in the powerplay overs, he knows to outsmart the opposition batters with the old ball, and his accurate yorkers and slower deliveries have the potential to make the best batters stay quiet. 
He played a key role in helping Team India win the home T20 International series versus Australia in 2023 and his impressive death bowling performance was appreciated by the duo of Marcus Stoinis and Tim David. 
He has experience of playing in 50 first-class matches and apart from this, he has also participated in six One-Day International games. This bowler is slowly and gradually increasing his experience. 
The 31-year-old has natural talent by his side and he is well known for executing inch-perfect slower yorker deliveries in the death overs. We have seen him play for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL. Taking all of these things into consideration, this player can genuinely be considered a strong contender to replace Bumrah
<h2>1. Mohammed Siraj</h2>
<img src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2165708910/photo/colombo-sri-lanka-mohammed-siraj-of-india-appeals-for-leg-before-wicket-of-sadeera.jpg?s=612x612&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=vThyHhxYMP1iUb40yoo9d7NDu34Xu8REqYa002YbhyE=" alt="Mohammed Siraj of India appeals for leg before wicket of Sadeera Samarawickrama of Sri Lanka during game three of the One Day International series..." width="449" height="299" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
DSP Siraj aka Mohammed Siraj from Hyderabad is rightfully considered the the main contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy if he misses the tournament due to injury. 
Siraj played a key role in helping Team India win the Asia Cup in 2023 and reach the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup but when he was omitted from the Champions Trophy squad, that decision shocked all the cricket fans and experts across the world. 
The 30-year-old is one of Team India's most dependable pacers across all formats and when we talk about his numbers in ODI Cricket, we get to know that he had 71 scalps to his name in 44 matches. These stats are not normal and it just go on to show how good the 30-year-old is in One Day Cricket. 
If Bumrah misses the mega ICC event of this year due to injury, then Siraj should definitely be called up to fill his big shoes in the team. The world is surely not ready for the comeback of a wounded Lion, Mohammed Siraj ;).

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.
