Indian Cricket Team are mulling over the fitness of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fitness reports of both players have been a massive concern for the BCCI as they look to name the team for the tournament. 
Jasprit Bumrah is uncertain to be in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because of the back injury that he faced in the last match against Australia, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. He has experienced back swelling and has been advised to rest. 
On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav faced a groin injury during the home Test series against New Zealand. However, after that, he underwent surgery for the same in Germany and has been in the recovery process at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. 
There were reports that India has delayed the squad announcement for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 because of this thing only as they are awaiting the fitness report of players. It was also learned that the BCCI will be naming the team on 19th January for the tournament. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah advised rest before going to NCA; Kuldeep Yadav to be declared fit by 25th January</h2>
With no clarity over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, a report in RevSportz has provided a huge update. It is learned that the fast bowler has been advised to take the rest first, and after that, he will be heading to NCA. While the wrist spinner is set to be declared fit by 25th January. 
Earlier, there were reports which suggested that Jasprit Bumrah's injury wasn't that serious. The fast bowler will be named in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 but won't be playing the league games. He is expected to be fit by the first week of March and will be playing the knockout games. 
The same report also suggested that Kuldeep Yadav will be picked in the England ODIs. This is because BCCI wants the wrist spinner to be in rhythm. It was learned that if he wasn't deemed fit then there are chances that Varun Chakravarthy might be named in the team.
Kuldeep and Bumrah have been an integral part of the team in the ODIs. They played a massive role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would be hoping to replicate the same in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav to miss CT? Massive fitness update arrives

Rohit Sharma in Ranji Trophy: Team India captain Rohit Sharma is set to join Mumbai's Ranji Trophy training sessions, sparking widespread speculation about his potential return to the prestigious domestic tournament. 
The 37-year-old opener, who last played in the Ranji Trophy in 2015, is expected to train with the squad starting Tuesday, January 14, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). Mumbai’s next match, scheduled for January 23 against Jammu &amp; Kashmir, could mark Rohit’s comeback after a decade.
Rohit’s potential participation in the Ranji Trophy could serve as an opportunity to regain his rhythm and confidence ahead of upcoming international assignments. The news has sent excitement rippling through cricketing circles, with many fans eager to see the veteran batter donning Mumbai’s colors once again. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6785c85b76ca9.jpg" alt="">
A Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) source confirmed, “Rohit will join the team’s practice sessions this week alongside Ajinkya Rahane, Shardul Thakur, and Shreyas Iyer. While he hasn’t confirmed if he will play the match against J&amp;K, his appearance at training is a positive sign.”
Rohit’s decision to return to domestic cricket aligns with the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) renewed push for national players to participate in domestic tournaments actively. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has been vocal about the importance of players staying connected with red-ball cricket at the domestic level, emphasizing it as a pathway to form and consistency.
The Indian skipper’s form has been under scrutiny following a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia. He managed just 31 runs across five innings, with a highest score of 10. This poor run of form led to his exclusion from the final Test in Sydney, which India eventually lost, capping off a 3-1 series defeat. 
Mumbai’s Ranji team, meanwhile, has been in strong form this season. They currently sit third in Group A, with three wins, one draw, and a single loss from five matches. Led by experienced campaigners like Rahane and featuring young talents eager to make their mark, the team has its eyes set on the knockout stages. Rohit’s inclusion, even for a match or two, would undoubtedly provide a boost both on and off the field.
The buzz surrounding Rohit’s potential Ranji Trophy return has also reignited conversations about other senior players featuring in domestic cricket. 
While Rohit has taken the first step by joining training sessions, fans are curious whether stalwarts like Virat Kohli will follow suit. Kohli’s last appearance in the Ranji Trophy was in 2012, and his return to domestic cricket would further highlight the importance of nurturing red-ball cricket in India.
As speculation continues to swirl, one thing is clear: Rohit Sharma’s presence in the Ranji Trophy, even in training, is a win for Indian cricket. Whether or not he plays on January 23, his involvement underscores the value of domestic cricket as a foundation for both personal and national success.

Former Indian cricketers in Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan named their Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. What caught the attention of many was that they didn't name Axar Patel and instead went in with Nitish Kumar Reddy as the all-rounder in the team. 
Both Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan backed Rohit Sharma to captain the Indian team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He will be opening the innings for the team, according to experts, while they pick Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill as two other openers. 
The middle-order batters picked by Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. The trio were the backbone of the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and the main reason why India reached the final. 
While all the talks have been about who will be keeper for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan picked both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. The latter was picked because of the form that he has shown in the T20Is. 
Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy made three all-rounders in the team picked by Gavaskar and Pathan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Axar Patel didn't make the cut, and it was a surprise as of late has been the best performer for the team in the white-ball format. 
According to them, along with Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav will be the second spinner in the team. Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be forming the pace department for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is keeping many engaged. The deadline given by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the squad announcement was on Sunday (12th January), and it has passed with no signs of the Indian team. 
Earlier, there were reports that BCCI had asked for extra time from the ICC as they needed to discuss the team, especially after they returned after the hectic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, this isn't the exact reason why they haven't announced the squad. 
The real reason behind that, as revealed by Dainik Jagran, is that BCCI is awaiting the fitness report of the two key players Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. The two players have been injured, and there are a lot of speculations about their fitness for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Bumrah got injured during the Sydney Test and has been suffering from the back spasms. There have been various reports that revealed that the pacer might miss the league stage of the tournament and will be back to 100% fitness by the start of March. 
Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, has been recovering from the surgery he underwent for a groin injury. The leg-spinner is awaiting fitness reports, which might come by the end of this month. The wrist spinner is likely to be picked in the Indian team for England series before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well. 
<h2>The Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January</h2>
The Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January. The BCCI vice-president, Rajiv Shukla, confirmed this after the Special General Meeting of the BCCI, which took place on Sunday (12th January). 
BCCI has also identified some of the key players that will be playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Skipper Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, and there are chances that young players Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and others might get a nod ahead. 
India is placed in Group A of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. They will be first taking on Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand in the tournament.

Revealed - Why India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has been delayed; two key players reason behind delay

Almost all of the participating teams have unveiled their respective squads for next month's Champions Trophy 2025 which is slated to be hosted by Pakistan and the UAE in hybrid-model system. The BCCI though have not announced Team India's squad for the mega event of this year yet. 
Rajeev Shukla, the Vice-president of thr BCCI has stated that a meeting to discuss the matters related to the team will be held on the 18th and 19th of January and it's anticipated that the squad of Team India will be announced post the conclusion of this meeting. 
However, before the official unveiling of the squad, many kinds of speculations have started to spread in the Cricket Community. Some Veterans and Cricket experts have even revealed their predicted squad of the Indian Cricket Team for the upcoming ICC event. 
Amidst all of the speculations, a lot of focus is being implemented on the wicketkeeper position. Who will be the two wicket-Keepers that will be selected in the Men in Blue's squad ahead of the Champions Trophy? Many reports have already started to spread rumors about the WK spot and one name that's coming in everybody's mind is KL Rahul.
<h2>Sanju has the upper hand in One Day Internationals</h2>
One of Sanju Samson or Rishabh Pant is likely to get picked for the 2nd wicket-Keeper's spot in the squad. The ODI statistics of both the players are giving testimony as to who has the upper hand in terms of getting picked in the team. If we take a look at the current career statistics, Samson seems to have the upper hand in this regard. 
Rishabh Pant has participated in a total of 31 One-Day International contests so farfar, in which he has amassed a total of 871 runs at a decent average ofof 33.50?. He has also slammed one century and five fifties with a strike rate of 106.21. However, Sanju has better overall ODI Stats. 
The Rajasthan Royals skipper has taken part in 16 One-Day International contests, in which he has scored 510 runs at a good average of 56.66 with the help of one century and three half-centuries at a decent strike rate of 99.60.
<h2>Samson has performed in a better way in the last five ODI matches too.. </h2>
If we compare the last five One-Day International innings of both players, the 30-year-old has had the upper hand in this regard as well. He has managed to score 216 runs in his last five ODI innings which includes a fifty and a magnificent century. 
He played a remarkable knock of 108 runs in his previous 50-over inning and the thing which works in his favour is that all of his previous five ODI knocks have come on foreign soil. His scores have read 37, 9, 51, 12 and 108 runs in his last five One-Day International appearances.
Rishabh Pant on the other hand, hasn't really done much with the bat in ODI Cricket. In his last five appearances in the format, he has managed to score just 156 runs. He has played an unbeaten century knock in this processand his scores in his last five ODI innings are - 0, 125*, 15, 10 and 6 runs. 
Thus, keeping all of these statistics in mind, Sanju Samson seems to be the better overall pick for the 2nd wicket-Keeper's spot in Team India's squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that Rohit Sharma is all set to play his last international game during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The skipper no longer seems to be in plans for the future. 
The BCCI review meeting, which took place recently in Mumbai, saw some harsh discussions between the officials along with selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Rohit Sharma. The future of the team was the major talking point, and the place of the captain, too, was discussed. 
Rohit Sharma agreed to lead the team till the BCCI finds a suitable successor for him. The India captain has been asked to continue in the role till the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as BCCI doesn't want to disrupt the team heading into the big tournament like CT. 
The reports in Dainik Jagran claimed that Rohit Sharma doesn't seem to be in the plans of selectors for Test cricket anymore now, and this will take a toll on his white-ball career as well. Hence, he has been asked the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be his last assignment in international cricket. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the captaincy of the team in the ODIs and Tests</h2>
The reports claimed that Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the captaincy of the team in the ODIs and Tests, and there will also be a strong vice-captain as well. This is because if the pacer gets rested for workload management, then the vice-captain should take over, just like how things pan out in Australian cricket. 
A source close to BCCI talked about the possibility of Rohit Sharma going to England for a Test series. He said "the possibility of Rohit going to England for five test matches is very less." 
When Rohit Sharma opted out of the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney he said: "I'm not going anywhere." But after the review meeting of the BCCI, things seem to be pretty tough for him. All will depend on how he will be performing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that Rohit Sharma is all set to play his last international game during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India captain Rohit Sharma has been under the massive scanner for his leadership of late. This is because he looked extremely torrid as a leader in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which saw Australia winning the series by the margin of 3-1 and qualifying for the final of the ICC World Test Championship. 
Rohit Sharma, after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, was seen attending the BCCI's review meeting in Mumbai. As per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that the captaincy of the team was one of the talking points of the meeting of the governing body. 
The reports claimed that Rohit Sharma, during the meeting, stood up for himself and told the selectors that he would continue coaching the team in the Tests and ODIs. However, he will lead the team till the time BCCI finds a successor for him in both formats.
<h2>Rohit Sharma to be captain until the board chooses the future captain</h2>
As per the reports, Rohit Sharma told BCCI: "he will remain the skipper for the next few months until the board chooses the future captain" and that whoever is picked will have his “full support.” 
Rohit Sharma will continue captaining the Indian team till the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Till then, there will be no threat to his leadership. However, after the tournament, there will be a hunt for the new skipper of the team in both ODIs as well as the longest format of the game.
The reports added that Jasprit Bumrah's name as the Test captain was also discussed, but there were a lot of questions raised as well. The selectors believe that the only problem in giving captaincy to Bumrah is if the fast bowler will be able to manage the workload and play all games of the series. 
The future of Rohit Sharma as a batter, as well as the captain will be decided based on how he performs in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the skipper fails to set the stage on fire, it won't be a surprise if the batter's career comes to an end, considering the amount of criticism he faced in Australia.

India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might not be playing for long in Indian colours. As per the reports in India Today, it is learned that fate of the both the stalwarts will depend on how they will perform in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played next month. 
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been under massive scanner for their poor performances of late. The duo, who carried the batting lineup of the team, are at the fag end of their career, and it's fair to say that runs are not coming for them, which has put them under the pump. 
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed in the entire Test season at home and, after that, failed to get going in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, this has put their career in white-ball cricket under the scanner as well, with youngsters consistently getting runs. 
The poor of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma was discussed during the review meeting of the BCCI. It was learned that officials looked at why the batters were struggling to get going, especially with some quality players in the ranks. 
<h2>Everything depends on their performance in the Champions Trophy - BCCI source on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli</h2>
The focus was on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as well. The reports claimed that a new captaincy option is being discussed after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is learned that if the results don't go their way then there will be massive changes in the team.
On Virat Kohli, it is learned that the batter needs to score runs, and if he fails to perform in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, then only there will be harsh calls. 
"As of now, nothing will happen, but the management is considering captaincy changes going forward after the Champions Trophy. If things do not change, steps may be taken regarding captaincy. 
"As far as Virat is concerned, he also needs to show some runs, but I don’t see either of them being removed from the Test team as we speak. Everything depends on their performance in the Champions Trophy," a source told India today. 
If the reports are to be believed, then the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be a massive tournament for both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both the players will be keen to make an impact, and if that doesn't happen, then we might see a new era in Indian cricket.

Fierce-Rivals India (IND) and England (ENG) are set to take on each other in a five-match T20 International series which will begin from the 22nd of January. The opening match of this series will be played at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced Team India's squad for the series and majority of the key players have picked in the team. 
Ahead of Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian team selectors will be keeping an eye on the performance of certain players, one of whom is Fast Bowling All-Rounder Hardik Pandya, who performed exceptionally well in the shortest format of the game in 2024. The 31-year-old has a phenomenal record versus England in T20 Internationals with both bat &amp; ball and he will get a big opportunity to create a massive record in the forthcoming five-match T20 International series.
<h2>Junior Pandya needs to take just three more wickets to break this record</h2>
At present, the record for the highest number of wickets taken by an Indian in T20 Internationals versus England is held by leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. He has dismissed 16 batters in 11 T20 matches versus the Three Lions at an average of 21.12. While Yuzi is not a part of the squad for the forthcoming series, Hardik is going to play and he has a chance to script history. 
In 15 T20i matches versus the Englishmen, the 31-year-old has 14 scalps next to his name with an average of 25.42. In such a situation, if Pandya manages to dismiss three more English batters in the upcoming five-match series, then he will become the highest wicket-taker for Team India in the shortest format of the game versus England.
<h2>Hardik Pandya's performance has been really good in T20 International matches</h2>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6783b2ad34cc4.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
Hardik is currently regarded as one of the best fast-bowling All Rounders in T20 Cricket. He has taken part in 109 T20i encounters so far and has amassed 1,700 runs at a decent average of 27.87, in which he has also hit four fifties at a really good strike-rate of 141.90.
With the ball, the Mumbai Indians skipper has dismissed a total of 89 batters with an economy rate of 8.17 and an average of 26.62. His best-figures with the ball currently stand at 4/16. 
The BCCI recently unveiled the Men in Blue's squad for the T20 International serias versus England and while Pandya is a part of the squad, he's no longer the vice-captain of the team and that responsibility has been handed over to Axar Patel.

The review meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took place on Saturday (12th January), and it saw some harsh discussions taking place with BCCI President Roger Binny and other officials, Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar at the helm of things. 
As per the reports in Hindustan Times, it is learned that one of the major topics of the review meeting was the coaching staff of the Gautam Gambhir. This comes after the poor performances of the team in the Tests and the ODIs of late under the new coaching staff. 
Gautam Gambhir has been under the massive scanner ever since he was appointed as the head coach, but nothing has gone in India's way. The coach reportedly was grilled during the review meeting and his coaching staff came under scanner as well. 
<h2>BCCI is unhappy with Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate being the assistant coaches</h2>
BCCI is unhappy with Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate being the assistant coaches. They are of the opinion that the duo lacks coaching expertise, especially in Test cricket. The source added that there are chances that more experienced coaching staff might come into place before England Tests. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he explained: 
"Except bowling coach Morne Morkel, who comes with a body of work as a Test player, there is a growing opinion within the team set-up that assistant coaches Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate are lacking in coaching expertise, particularly when it comes Test cricket.There is a possibility of more reinforcements in the coaching staff, those with technical expertise for the tour of England." 
The BCCI reportedly will be taking action after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the result doesn't go their way some of the massive steps will be taken in Indian cricket. With all the tides against him, Gautam Gambhir will now be hoping to silence all the critics and reply in style. 
It remains to be seen how the Indian team will be fair in ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the results don't go their way then there are chances that Gautam Gambhir might be sacked as a coach. India, in the recent past, has lost the ODI series to Sri Lanka, the Tests against New Zealand and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
