WI vs IND 2023 Schedule for Test, ODI &amp; T20Is, India tour of West Indies 2023: With team India's ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final duties reaching its culmination, the time has come for some bilateral action. The Indian players have received a breather of a month before they prepare for the tour of the West Indies. Team India is set to tour West Indies in the month of July for all-format games.



While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared the itinerary for the West Indies and the USA tour on June 12, Monday. Team The India tour of West Indies will commence on July 12th while the final fixture of the tour will be held on August 13.



The tour of the West Indies and the USA will have two red-ball games along with three ODIs and five Twenty-20 Internationals. Out of five T20Is, two will be played in the United States of America (USA) at the Central Broward Park &amp; Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.



Notably, when India visited the USA last year for a couple of T20I games against the West Indies, they had to face visa issues, which created a huge mess. However, the timely intervention of Guyana's President solved the visa issue.



India's all-format tour of the West Indies will begin with the test series followed by the ODIs and then the five T20Is to complete the visit. The two red-ball matches will be staged at Windsor Park and the Queen?s Park Oval while the limited-over matches will be held in Barbados, Trinidad, and Guyana. 



India and West Indies will then fly to the USA for the final two T20Is of the five-match series which will be held in Florida.

WI vs IND 2023 Schedule for Test, ODI &amp; T20Is, India tour of West Indies 2023

wi-vs-ind-2023-schedule-for-test-odi-t20is-india-tour-of-west-indies-2023

IND vs WI: Rohit Sharma to be rested for a part of India tour of West Indies 2023: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to provide a breather to Indian captain Rohit Sharma at some point during the upcoming India tour of West Indies 2023. The three-format tour, IND vs WI will have two tests, three ODIs and five T20Is, which will begin on July 12.



As per the reports, the selectors are looking to give a break to the all-format Indian skipper, who has looked off-colours in the recent past. His performances in the recently held Tata IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship have been disappointing.



"The selectors want him [Rohit Sharma] to rest for some part of the West Indies tour, said a close source in the know of the development to the Times of India.



Reportedly, either Rohit will miss the two-match Test series or the eight-game limited-over matches, which include three ODIs and five T20Is.



"He's likely to miss the Tests or the eight-match white-ball match series (three ODIs and five Twenty20 Internationals) against West Indies. The selectors will speak with Rohit Sharma and then take a decision," the source added.



Earlier, it was reported that BCCI is keen on resting senior players for the five-match T20I series against West Indies. With the next T20 World Cup to be held next year, the move made sense as the players would remain fresh for the ODIs and for the following ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.



However, the move to rest Rohit Sharma for the entire white-ball series or the red-ball series is a bouncer for cricket fans. Notably, team India has a month's time to enjoy and get fresh before they embark on their West Indies tour.



Rohit Sharma's World Test Championship Final (WTC) 2023 outing turned out underwhelming. He scored 15 runs in the first innings and 43 in the second. The Indian skipper got a good start in the second innings, however, his over-ambitious lap shot trapped him in front of the three stumps.



Some reports also claimed that along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli could also get a break to rejuvenate during the upcoming India tour of West Indies. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: India tour of West Indies 2023</h2>



India's tour of West Indies 2023 will kickstart on July 12 with a test fixture in Dominica followed by another red-ball game in Trinidad, which starts on July 20. The two sides will then lock horns for a three-match ODI series, starting July 27, followed by a five-match T20I series to wrap the tour.



While three of the five-match T20I series will be held in Trinidad and Guyana, the last two T20Is will be staged in Florida, USA.

IND vs WI: Rohit Sharma to be rested for a part of India tour of West Indies 2023

IND vs WI: Hardik Pandya to be recalled for India's Test Squad during India tour of West Indies: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is mulling to recall all-rounder Hardik Pandya in the tests for the upcoming series against West Indies, which starts on July 12th in Dominica. The BCCI is keen to have Hardik back in the red-ball side following team India's poor show in the ICC WTC Final against Australia.



The talks of Hardik Pandya's test comeback are not new. After recovering from his injury, a year ago, which kept him in distress for a long time, Hardik has only played the white-ball format. He is actively involved in the T20I and ODI games, however, his test appearances have become extinct. 



With India stepping into a new three-year cycle of the World Test Championship with a two-match series against West Indies, the BCCI will certainly have thoughts of having Hardik back as an all-rounder in the side. 



However, the cricketer has himself ruled him out from wearing a white jersey for India as of now. Hardik, in an interview earlier, said he will earn his spot if he were to step into the test side.



?If I want to play Test cricket, I will go through the grind, I will earn my position and then come back. For that reason, to be very honest, I will not be available or play the World Test Championship Final, or any future Test matches until I feel that I have earned my spot," said Hardik Pandya.



Meanwhile, a senior BCCI official said that the selectors are keen to recall Hardik Pandya in the test format, but the cricketer has to take the final call.



?Hardik is definitely an option but it is Hardik himself who has to take the call on a Test return. Selectors are keen to see him back in whites. But is he in a position to play all three formats, especially considering he is an important player in ODIs? That is the call he has to take,??a senior BCCI official told.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: Ganguly wants Hardik Pandya to make test comeback</h2>



A couple of days ago, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly urged all-rounder Hardik Pandya to make a test comeback. Ganguly's statement came days after team India's World Test Championship Final loss against Australia at the Oval in London.



"I hope Hardik Pandya is listening. I want to see him play Test cricket, especially in these conditions [England]," urged Sourav Ganguly on India Today.



Ganguly further said it's not the right time to phase out the likes of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara from test cricket. He reckons both of the players still have plenty to offer to Indian cricket.



"Let's not jump to conclusions due to just one loss, India will always have talent. And I don't think it is time to look beyond Virat (Kohli) or (Cheteshwar) Pujara. Virat is just 34,? he added.

IND vs WI: Hardik Pandya to be recalled for India's Test Squad during India tour of West Indies

ind-vs-wi-hardik-pandya-to-be-recalled-for-indias-test-squad-during-india-tour-of-west-indies

Ishan Kishan to move NCA: As per recent reports, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan and a few other contracted players will report to Bengaluru's National Cricket Academy (NCA) the following week to begin Strength &amp; Conditioning (S&amp;C)-related work before the Indian squad departs for an entire tour against the West Indies.



Ishan Kishan was one of the 15 players selected by India for their World Test Championship squad to face Australia at The Oval. However, when the playing XI was released, he did not make the cut as India stuck with KS Bharat.



Kishan has played a regular role for India in white-ball matches but is yet to make his Test debut. In the Indian Premier League 2023, the Southpaw had hot and cold spells but ultimately finished with 454 runs in 16 games.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Ishan-Kishan.jpg" alt="Ishan Kishan to move NCA for strength and conditioning ahead of the West Indies tour 2023" class="wp-image-115147" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image@_IPL</figcaption></figure>



Beginning on July 12, a tour against the West Indies that consists of two Test matches, three One Day Internationals, and five One Day Internationals. On July 3, the crew led by Rohit Sharma will likely be to leave for the Caribbean.



Centrally contracted athletes who aren't competing in any domestic competitions usually receive a call to the NCA for their fitness and health routine checkups in the time between two international series.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ishan Kishan skips Duleep Trophy 2023</h2>



It was previously reported by PTI that Kishan has opted out of the season-opening domestic red ball tournament. The Duleep Trophy is set to be conducted totally in Bengaluru from June 28 and the final is scheduled to be played from July 12 to 16 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.



The 24-year-old had the chance to play one game with the red ball before the Indian squad left for the Caribbean trip when the East Zone faces the Central Zone in the first quarterfinal. Especially with the incumbent KS Bharat unable to make an impact with the bat, the one-off game would have provided Kishan an opportunity to set up his case for being included in the Test team.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ishan-1.jpg" alt="Ishan Kishan to move NCA for strength and conditioning ahead of the West Indies tour 2023" class="wp-image-115146" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ishan Kishan to move NCA</figcaption></figure>



However, Kishan, who was expected to be India's wicketkeeper-batter in the WTC final preceding Bharat, had dropped out of the Duleep Trophy a few days before. His choice undoubtedly raises concerns about his ambition to play Test cricket and other formats for India.



Some cricket fans were baffled by Kishan's choice since many believed that participating in the domestic red-ball competition would have increased the wicketkeeper batsman's chances of being selected for India's Test XI in the absence of Rishabh Pant.

Ishan Kishan to move NCA for strength and conditioning ahead of the West Indies tour 2023; Check Out Full Details

ishan-kishan-to-move-nca-for-strength-and-conditioning-ahead-of-the-west-indies-tour-2023-check-out-full-details

IND vs WI: Indian players to report at the NCA before the West Indies tour: Ahead of the India tour of West Indies 2023, some of the top Indian centrally contracted players have reported at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to have a check at their fitness levels before they board a plane for the Caribbean tour.



Ishan Kishan and several others will undergo strength and conditioning related at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The centrally contracted and BCCI targetted players, usually, pay a visit to the NCA when they get time between the two tours.



Team India has received a month gap before they regroup for the West Indies tour, which comprises two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. The India tour of the West Indies is scheduled to commence on July 12 with the two-match test series in Dominica. The two sides will then take part in the ODIs followed by five T20Is.



Notably, the first three T20Is will be held in West Indies itself, while the last two games of the tour will be staged in Florida, USA.



It is noteworthy that wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan could have played the Duleep Trophy, which starts on July 28, however, the southpaw has chosen to take part in the fitness camp at the NCA.



East Zone is set to lock horns against Central Zone in the first quarter-final of the Duleep Trophy in Bengaluru's Alur. Had Ishan Kishan played the game and scored a few runs, he could have pushed his case for the wicketkeeper's role in the Indian test side.



With KS Bharat, who donned the gloves during the WTC 2023 Final, looking sore with his batting prowesses, Ishan could have gone a step ahead of his compatriot with the one-off test opportunity in Duleep Trophy.



"Ishan has been a part of the Indian team on a regular basis since last December and took a short break upon arrival from England after the World Test Championship final," a source close to the cricketer said on Saturday.



"He will check into the NCA in the early days of the next week and focus on his training and preparations for the West Indies tour which he is expected to be a part of," the source added.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to announce India's squad for the West Indies series. Reports indicate that the Indian cricket board will reveal the squads on June 27.

IND vs WI: Indian players to report at the NCA before the West Indies tour

ind-vs-wi-indian-players-to-report-at-the-nca-before-the-west-indies-tour

IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to give some time off to a couple of Indian players, who have been on a roll for the last few months. With the West Indies series lined up ahead, the Indian cricket board can afford to rest the senior players and test a few youngsters.



The India tour of the West Indies is scheduled to start on July 12th with a two-match Test series. The tour will also have three ODIs and five T20I fixtures which will be held after the Test outings.



A number of reports have indicated that the BCCI is keen on keeping some of the players fresh for the next World Cup, which will be held in October-November in India. With no big Test and T20I events scheduled in the remainder of 2023, BCCI would want certain players to focus only on the ODIs.



The All India Senior Selection Committee has yet not announced Team India's squad for the West Indies series. The squad is likely to have some surprise selections while there may also be some omissions.



The omissions from the West Indies tour may be a part of BCCI's plans to keep certain players fresh or because of the players' personal poor performance over a long period of time.



This article will lead you through IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Rohit Sharma</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/rohit-Sharma-wtc-final.jpg" alt="IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series" class="wp-image-114788" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: ICC/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



While it may seem absurd to give a breather to the Indian captain, who is already enjoying a month off before the West Indies series, Rohit needs to hit the refresh button before he begins his ICC World Cup 2023 preparations. The 50-over World Cup will be held in India, later this year, and Rohit Sharma will only be dreaming about the coveted trophy.



The recent form of Sharma hasn't been encouraging. Although he did show some good signs in the second innings of the WTC 2023 Final, that seems insignificant for someone with Hitman's calibre. 



With a number of ODIs scheduled in the lead-up to the World Cup 2023, Rohit should focus solely on the ODIs and keep himself hale and healthy for the event.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Virat Kohli</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Virat-Kohli-in-WTC_11zon-1024x602.jpg" alt="IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series" class="wp-image-114771" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">WTC Final 2023: Virat Kohli | Image Credit: Twitter (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli is also a vital cog in India's batting lineup. He should also take some time off at some point during the West Indies series to maintain his freshness. Although there are no doubts about Virat's fitness, an extended break can do wonders for the cricketers.



With back-to-back cricket scheduled for team India ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023, Virat must focus only on the important games. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ravindra Jadeja</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Ravindra-Jadeja-WTC-Final.jpg" alt="IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series" class="wp-image-115156" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ICC/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



Ravindra Jadeja has proved himself as one of the vital members of the Indian team in the recent past. His batting and bowling performances have spoken volumes of themselves in the past and they are still going strong.



Unlike Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who, probably, will not be on the selection radar for the T20 World Cup 2024, Jadeja will very much be in contention to give his services. With two important events for Jadeja awaiting, his workload must be managed. 



The Gujarat all-rounder is playing back-to-back cricket since he recovered from his leg injury. He played a Ranji Game before making his international comeback against Australia followed by a tedious IPL 2023 and then the WTC Final.

IND vs WI: 3 Indian Players who should be rested for West Indies Test series

ind-vs-wi-3-indian-players-who-should-be-rested-for-west-indies-test-series

IND vs WI: No rest for Rohit Sharma, Pujara Test spot, India's Test Squad for West Indies series: Team India skipper Rohit Sharma is reportedly available for the selection as India embarks on its West Indies tour which comprises Tests, ODIs and T20Is. As per the sources in the know of the development, Rohit will lead the Indian side in the West Indies tour, which begins on July 12.



Earlier there were reports of Rohit Sharma getting a rest for the IND vs WI Test series, however, the BCCI officials have quashed the reports. The reports indicated workload management of Rohit Sharma as a key factor for giving him a break.



However, the senior BCCI official reckons a month-long break after the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final is sufficient to rejuvenate the players.



?Rohit is fit and available for selection. He will have a good break. So, there is no workload management concern either. He will lead in the West Indies series,??said a senior BCCI official.



He further mentioned that although Rohit couldn't produce a match-winning effort in the ICC WTC Final, he has done decent overall in the last few months. 



?Yes, he hasn?t got many runs in IPL and the WTC Final. But he has done decently in the last few months. He got a century in Nagpur against Australia. He is taking care of his fitness. It?s harsh on him to be criticised based on form,??the official added.



Meanwhile, the BCCI official also revealed that there is no threat to Cheteshwar Pujara's place in India's Test squad. With the absence of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul is serving as a blessing in disguise for him.



While Pujara is set to retain his test spot, the selectors are also keen on adding Sarfaraz Khan along with Mukesh Kumar to India's Test squad for West Indies series.



The likes of Mohammad Siraj and Shami are likely to get rest for the two-match test series aginst West Indies. Both the players are a key part of India's ODI squad and BCCI would want them to remain fresh.



Hardik Pandya is also unlikely to make his comeback with the upcoming test series against West Indies. With Asia Cup and ODI World Cup lined ahead, Hardik's prime focus will be the limited-over format.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: India's Test Squad for West Indies series</h2>



Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Sarfaraz Khan, Ishan Kishan (wk), KS Bharat, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Mukesh Kumar, Shardul Thakur.

IND vs WI: No rest for Rohit Sharma, Pujara Test spot, India's Test Squad for West Indies series

ind-vs-wi-no-rest-for-rohit-sharma-pujara-test-spot-indias-test-squad-for-west-indies-series

IND vs WI: 3 New batters &amp; bowlers for Test squad, India?s Test Squad for West Indies series : Team India's two-match test assignment has become crucial for the BCCI, as it looks to resurrect its performance in the marquee multi-lateral events. While India has managed to perform well throughout the group or league stages of any tournament, the hit it has been taking for a decade in the important knockout matches has somewhat hurt the team's aspirations.



Recently, Rohit Sharma-led India faced a harsh defeat against Australia in the ICC World Test Championship Final 2023. The 209 run-defeat against the Aussies will not settle anytime soon until significant reforms are not made on the Indian side.



It is important to note that, a few senior members of the Indian team have come under scrutiny following their poor show in the WTC final 2023. 



The Test figures of skipper Rohit Sharma, although soared in 2021 and 2022, however, they aren't justifying his stature anymore. He has often found ways to get dismissed in innocuous deliveries by playing unnecessary shots after negating the dangerous spells.



Similarly, Cheteshwar Pujara's numbers are also a sign of concern for the Indian side. Although he performed well during his recent county stint, his runs have dried in the Indian colours.



Talking about Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, who still are going strong, they are also under scrutiny. While Rahane,35, made a commendable comeback in the WTC final, it remains a question as to how long he can hold his position in the team with that age factor coming into play. Virat Kohli, on the other side, is also far from his beast version, although, he has managed to gain some momentum in the test format. 



The aforementioned four players form India's heavy top and middle order, which now is nearing its twilight. So the BCCI will have to plan and strategise ahead for the bright future of the Indian test side.



With the senior pros not having a ball of a time in the field, the young players must be given fair opportunities to slide into the side and pose as serious competition for the playing spot.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: Start rewarding young players: Sanjay Manjrekar</h2>



Former Indian cricketer and renowned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar reckons BCCI should now start rewarding the players who are consistently doing good in first-class cricket. 



"About time we start rewarding the guys who are doing well in first-class cricket," said Sanjay Manjrekar. "And not just runs. The selectors could look at players who have it in them to be future Test players and succeed in foreign conditions."



He further said he would love to see three new batters and bowlers get the national call-up for the upcoming two-match IND vs WI test series, which begins on July 12 in Dominica.



"I would like to see at least three new batters come into play in the picture and new fast bowlers,"&nbsp;he said.



Manjrekar also dissected what served as one of the key ingredients of Australia's success in the ICC WTC 2023 Final against India. 



"The game changers for Australia in the WTC final - Steve Smith and Travis Head - don't play a lot of T20 cricket. So we have to find guys who are not going to be fatigued or don't have to make the adjustments from IPL to Test cricket."



Manjrekar reckons India again needs to work on its pace bowling lineup and form a new set of players, who are match ready at any given moment. Team India had a certain depth in the bowling with the services of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna among others.



However, suddenly with the injuries to a couple of pacers, the fast-bowling lineup became thin and dull and there was too much responsibility on Mohammed Siraj and Shami.



"Just a few months back I was taking pride in the depth that we have in our seam-bowling department and suddenly Bumrah is not fit. There are quite fit others like Prasidh Krishna so maybe for Test cricket, India needs to create a new line of fast bowlers. Now you should look for specific test players. If somebody gets injured, we should have backups ready. Like Scott Boland. Came in straightaway and made an impact. We had to go back to Umesh Yadav which is not a good sign," he said.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India's Test Squad for West Indies Series - Prediction</h2>



The BCCI could use the opportunity to hand national call-up to the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Eshwaran, Sarfaraz Khan, Mukesh Kumar and Rajat Patidar. 



India's Test squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Eshwaran, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Sarfaraz Khan, Ishan Kishan, Srikar Bharat, R Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mukesh Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat.

WI vs IND 2023: BCCI announced Squad for Test &amp; ODI for West Indies Tour, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal are included in the Squad

IND vs WI: Pujara is being made "Scapegoat" says Gavaskar, India?s Test Squad for West Indies series: Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has been left fuming with the BCCI's decision to drop Cheteshwar Pujara from the upcoming two-match test series against West Indies. Gavaskar reckons Pujara is being made a "scapegoat" who has been left out of the squad while the other seniors have retained their places.



Following India's loss at the World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023, it was anticipated that the BCCI will take a few bold steps to tackle the issues. The performance of the senior players wasn't encouraging and the reports indicated that BCCI might slowly begin phasing out these players as the new WTC cycle starts against West Indies.



Meanwhile, on Friday, the Indian cricket board released India's ODI and Test squad for the tour of the West Indies, which begins on 12th July. While the squads had no surprising elements, Sunil Gavaskar wasn't impressed with the only exclusion of Cheteshwar Pujara.



?Why has he been made the scapegoat for our batting failures?" said Sunil Gavaskar. "He has been a loyal servant of Indian cricket, a quiet and able achiever. But because he doesn't have millions of followers on whatever platforms who would make a noise in case he gets dropped, you drop him? That is something beyond understanding."



The renowned commentator further expresses his frustration that nowadays the selectors don't do press conferences while announcing the squads which leaves no way to ask them questions about their decisions.



?What are the criteria for dropping him and keeping the others who failed? I don't know because nowadays there is no media interaction with the selection committee chairman or whoever where you could actually ask these questions,? he said.



Gavaskar targetted the selectors for singling out Cheteshwar Pujara just on the basis of a few poor performances, while keeping the others intact in the team despite a string of low scores.



Team India's batting had failed miserably against Australia in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final. Besides Ajinkya Rahane, no other batter could justify their role, however, it was only Pujara who got an axe from the side.



"Clearly only one man has been singled out while the others also failed. To me, the batting failed. Apart from Ajinkya Rahane, there was nobody who got any runs. So why Pujara has been made the fall guy is something the selectors need to explain,? he said.



Notably, before joining the Indian side for the WTC final, Pujara played a few games in the County Championship in which he slammed three centuries. However, his bat remained silent against Australia with scores of 14 and 27 in the two innings of the ultimate test.



Down below is IND vs WI Test squad for the upcoming two-match series.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track. 
However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey. 
After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter. He, however, mentioned that they are hopeful that ICC will support them and India will be asked to write the name of the jersey on their kits for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys - ICC official </h2>
Following this, BCCI also reacted, and the insider from the governing body said that since they are playing in Dubai, it isn't mandatory for them to wear the 'Pakistan written jersey'. The BCCI also stressed that they didn't write Pakistan's name on the podium of the Trophy tours as well. 
Amid all this, ICC has come up with a strong response for the BCCI. An ICC official mentioned that it is the responsibility of the host nation to add the tournament logo to their jersey. He stated: 
"It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys. All teams are obligated to comply with this rule," an ICC official said as per A-Sports, as quoted by NDTV. 
Not only this, it is learned that the ICC also warned BCCI that they would be taking strict action if they didn't wear the Pakistan-written jersey during the tournament.

India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series. 
This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team. 
Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series. 
<h2>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</h2>
Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.
Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team. 
With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.
<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461">
Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)

<h3 dir="ltr">9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>
