Champions Trophy 2025: After ensuring its victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, the next target of the Indian team is the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan. This ICC event will be held in the early months of 2025, and it has not yet been confirmed whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. Down below this article will provide: India Expected 15-Players for Champions Trophy 2025.



India will play only three ODIs before the Champions Trophy 2025, which clearly means that there will be very little opportunity for the selection committee and head coach Gautam Gambhir to test the performance of the key players.

The Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in ODI format this time, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the strongest contenders for the opener. Now it will be interesting to see whether Rohit's opening partner will be Gill or Jaiswal.



The middle order may be on the shoulders of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer. Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Riyan Parag can be selected in the squad for the role of all-rounder.



Jaspreet Bumrah will play the lead role in bowling whereas his fellow bowlers can include Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.

India Expected 15-Players for Champions Trophy 2025

india-expected-15-players-for-champions-trophy-2025

The much-awaited decision has finally come, and all the speculation surrounding the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has ended. After the delay of almost a month, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has finally succeeded in getting both the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the same page.
On Thursday, the ICC announced, "ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 to be played across Pakistan and a neutral venue." That clears that India will not travel to Pakistan, and all their matches will be held at a neutral venue. Though the neutral venue has not been shortlisted, it is likely to be either in the UAE or Sri Lanka.
Not just group matches; if India make it to the knockout, the semifinal and final will also be played at a neutral venue. But this is not it. Until 2027, all the India vs Pakistan matches that are scheduled to be played in the ICC events will be played at a neutral venue if these two countries are the hosts.
The statement added, "India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue." These ICC events are the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2025 in India, and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
<h2>ICC gifts Pakistan with ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2028 rights in compensation.</h2>
India have not traveled to Pakistan since 2005. These two teams don't play bilateral series anymore and only play in ICC or ACC events. Hence, they denied traveling to Pakistan for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This deadlock became the headache of the ICC for more than a month. Finally, they have conceived both the boards.
However, in compensation, the ICC has awarded the PCB with the hosting rights of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2028, which will also apply a neutral venue for the Indian women's team. They confirmed in the statement, "It was also announced that the PCB has been awarded hosting rights of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2028, where neutral venue arrangements will also apply."
Pakistan will enter the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as the defending champion. The tournament will feature the top eight teams. India and Pakistan are part of the same group. The schedule has been delayed by almost a month, but the ICC confirmed that it will be announced shortly. According to the proposed schedule, the event is set to be played between 19 February and 9 March 2025.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is proposed to be played between 19 February and 9 March 2025. India will play their matches at a neutral venue, including knockout games.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is just a couple of months away. On Tuesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the complete schedule for the upcoming event. The tournament is scheduled to be played between February 19 and March 9 with the best 8 teams.
A total of 15 matches will be played in the tournament. 8 teams are divided into two groups with four each. India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh are in Group A, while Australia, England, South Africa, and Afghanistan are in Group B.
Two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-final. The hosts, Pakistan, will enter the tournament as the defending champion. They beat arch-rival India in the final of last season. With top teams making it in the competition, it will be very tough to make it to the knockout.
<h2>Fakhar Zaman makes a bold prediction; predicts four Semifinalists for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
As the countdown begins for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the predictions have started. Pakistan star opener Fakhar Zaman, who slammed a brilliant century in the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy against India and helped his team win the title, comes up with a bold prediction. He picked four teams who might make it to the top four of the tournament.
In a discussion with ex-PAK cricketer Basit Ali, Fakhar named Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and South Africa as the top four of the tournament. He said, "Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and South Africa are the teams I believe will reach the semifinals."
However, it is very early to predict the top four of the tournament, but the Southpaw admitted Asian teams will have an advantage and might go a long way. That's why he didn't pick strong teams like Australia, England, or New Zealand. Meanwhile, after the announcement of the schedule, it has been cleared that India will play their games in Dubai.
If they qualify for the semis or final, they will play those games in the final. The blockbuster game between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place on February 23 in Dubai. The other three venues are Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi, which will host games of other teams other than India.
