IPL 2024: One of the most popular leagues, Indian Premier League 2024 is eagerly awaited by all the cricket lovers. But at present there are few days left for the start of IPL 2024. Two major tournaments are to be played before IPL 2024, first Asia Cup then ICC World Cup 2023 starting in November. But at present, big news is coming out about the IPL 2024 event.



Regarding the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, there is some major news. The IPL's next season, which is scheduled to begin in 2024, is being pushed back by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Additionally, it's possible that the subsequent IPL will take place overseas.



According to sources, BCCI is looking for an empty window after ICC World Cup 2023 to organize IPL 2024 so that IPL 2024 can be organized in India itself. But at present the focus of BCCI and other cricket boards is on the ODI World Cup to be held in India. There is still a long time left to think about IPL 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earlier also IPL has happened in South Africa and UAE due to elections</h2>



Elections caused situations like this to surface in IPL 2004 and 2009. Due to general elections, the IPL was held in South Africa in 2009. The general elections of 2014 saw a similar event. IPL matches from 2014 were also played in the UAE.



Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team won the 2023 IPL season, which was the final one. By defeating Gujarat Titans in the championship game, he won the trophy for the fifth time. As a result, Mumbai Indians and Chennai have each won the championship five times in a row.

IPL 2024: Tournament can be held abroad, know the reason | India Premier League 2024

ipl-2024-tournament-can-be-held-abroad-know-the-reason-india-premier-league-2024

IPL 2024: The 39-year-old former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga has returned home to the five-time IPL winning team Mumbai Indians in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians has appointed him as the bowling coach in IPL 2024. Malinga will replace former Kiwi fast bowler Shane Bond.



The Mumbai Indians have not yet made a firm decision regarding the tenure of their current bowling coach, Shane Bond, according to a report from the news agency PTI. Bond was hired as MI's bowling coach in 2015 and naturally collaborated with Malinga while he was a member of the team. A source told PTI that Bond's contract with MI is still in effect.



Malinga participated in 139 games for Mumbai and recorded 195 wickets at a 7.12 economy rate. He has taken the sixth-most wickets in this league. He is the joint sixth highest wicket taker in this league.



Malinga had previously served as the team's mentor in 2018. He made a comeback a year later, co-leading the team's bowling attack with Jasprit Bumrah, and played a key role in making the team champion. After retiring in 2021, he served as the Rajasthan Royals' fast bowling coach in 2022.



Significantly, Lasith Malinga had a very prosperous career with the Mumbai Indians. He led the team to five championships, includes four IPL championships (2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) and Champions League T20 in 2011.



Malinga took over as the fast bowling coach for Rajasthan Royals in 2022 after quitting cricket in 2021. The Rajasthan team competed in the finals in 2022. The team, however, was unable to even make the playoffs this season (IPL 2023) and placed fifth overall. For bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer, it would be significant if Malinga were to become Mumbai's bowling coach. Additionally, bowlers like Arjun Tendulkar and Akash Madhwal will be a huge help.

IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians roped in Lasith Malinga as bowling?Coach

ipl-2024-mumbai-indians-roped-in-lasith-malinga-as-bowling-coach

IPL 2024: Hardik Pandya has returned home ahead of the 2024 IPL. That means Junior Pandya is back with the Mumbai Indians. Hardik was added to the Mumbai Indians roster at the last minute in an all-cash trade deal worth 15 crore rupees with the Gujarat Titans. Hardik has left the Gujarat Titans, where he was the captain. So, would Hardik captain MI now that he has returned to Mumbai? Former Indian team player Akash Chopra and South African legend AB de Villiers have provided a response via signals.



Rohit Sharma was the captain of the Mumbai Indians till the end of the IPL 2023 season, and the team won five titles under his leadership. In such a case, removing Rohit Sharma as captain may not be the best option. Hardik, on the other side, has proven to be a successful captain for Gujarat. Hardik Pandya led Gujarat to victory in their debut season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022), and the team finished second the following season under his leadership.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/Rohit-Sharma-1024x576.webp" alt="Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-106199" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma: India ODI Captain</figcaption></figure>



Aakash Chopra stated on his YouTube channel about the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians, "Hardik Pandya was the captain of Gujarat, and he helped the team win the trophy in the first season." The Gujarat squad finished second in the second season. The return of Hardik Pandya to the Mumbai Indians in an all-cash trade deal is unusual. Is Hardik Pandya set to take over as Mumbai Indians captain? What sort of role will Rohit Sharma play?"



Ab De Villiers stated that Rohit carries a lot of weight in terms of captaincy. He leads India in international cricket, and I believe Hardik will take over the leadership position at MI to relieve some of the load on Rohit.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/11/Hardik-Pandya-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-123019" /></figure>



The Mumbai Indians have had a lot of success under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. From 2013 to 2020, Mumbai won five titles under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Mumbai is the tournament's joint most successful team, along with CSK. On the other hand, Hardik helped GT win their first IPL title, and the Junior Pandya will not accept a role in which he is not the captain of MI. In such a case, it will be intriguing to observe whether Hardik Pandya is truly given command of Mumbai or whether Rohit Sharma will continue as the captain.

IPL 2024 Breaking News: The preparations for the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League are moving at a breakneck pace. The next season's auction will take place on December 19th in Dubai. Kolkata Knight Riders have made a critical decision just before the IPL 2024. Shreyas Iyer has been re-appointed captain of the team. Iyer was unable to play last season due to an injury. Nitish Rana was appointed as the captain in his absence. Gautam Gambhir has also returned to his former franchise as a mentor.



Nitish Rana will be the vice captain of the Knight Riders ahead of the upcoming season of the IPL. Earlier this year, Shreyas had undergone back surgery, and he made his comeback with the Indian team in the Asia Cup 2023. The 29-year-old was in the best form of his life in the recently concluded ODI World Cup but was not able to help India lift their third ICC World Cup Trophy.



Regarding Shreyas Iyer?s comeback as the captain for KKR, Ceo Venky Mysore, in a press release for the Knight Riders on X, said, It was pretty unfortunate that Shreyas missed IPL 2023 due to an injury, and we are glad that he?s back and at the helm as captain. The way he has worked hard to recover from his injury and the form he has displayed is a testament to his character. ?



"We are also grateful that Nitish agreed to step into Shreyas?s shoes last season and did a great job. There?s no doubt Nitish, as vice captain, will support Shreyas in every possible way for the benefit of Team KKR.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Nitish-Rana-press-conference.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83518" /></figure>



Skipper Shreyas Iyer praised Nitish Rana and said, ?I believe the last season presented us with several challenges, including my absence due to injury. Nitish did a great job, not only filling in for me but also with his commendable leadership. I am delighted that KKR has named him vice captain. No doubt it will strengthen the leadership group.?



The Knight Riders would be hoping that Skipper Shreyas Iyer can help the team lift their 3rd IPL trophy in 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players retained by KKR for the IPL 2024</h2>



Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Nitish Rana (Vice-Captain), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Jason Roy, Anukul Roy, Suyash Sharma, Varun Chakaravarthy, Venkatesh Iyer, Harshith Rana, and Vaibhav Arora.

IPL 2024: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is searching for title sponsors ahead of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). According to a report from Cricbuzz, the BCCI has rolled out strict conditions that the bidders must follow. The apex council has said that no Chinese companies or bidders will be allowed to bid for the title sponsorship rights of the Indian Premier League.



The reason behind not allowing Chinese brands to bid for the title sponsorship rights is the tense border relations between India and China. Vivo was the last Chinese brand to hold the IPL title sponsorship rights between 2018 and 2022, but due to border issues between India and China, the BCCI kept Vivo?s sponsorship for IPL 2020 on hold, and Dream 11 took over as the title sponsor in 2020. Vivo returned for IPL 2021, but the Tata Group took over from Vivo for IPL 2022 and IPL 2023.



"While no specific nations or brands have been cited specifically, the BCCI's decision is based on public outrage and a bad experience with Vivo, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer. "This situation emerged as a result of the border dispute between India and China. As a result, Vivo elected to terminate the 5-year sponsorship agreement, giving the rights to the Tata Group," according to Cricbuzz.



The BCCI even mentioned that, along with Chinese brands, they will not allow brands that are associated with fantasy games, betting apps and websites, alcohol, tobacco, sportswear, or cryptocurrency trading to bid for the title sponsorship rights of the IPL.



Despite a not-so-encouraging response to the sponsorship tender, the BCCI is keeping their heads up and is expecting reputable brands to bid for title rights thanks to the tremendous brand value of the Indian Premier League. The winner of the bidding would get bidding rights for 5 years (IPL 2024-2028), and the bidding process is expected to start between the 13th and 14th of January. The reserve price for the title rights is 360 crore rupees per year, and interested parties can purchase the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document until January 8th.



The Invitation to Tender (ITT) has a critical phrase that states, Each bidder shall not be incorporated in a jurisdiction or territory with which India does not have good relations." If any corporate entity that is a shareholder or proposed shareholder in the bidder is incorporated in a jurisdiction or territory with which India does not have friendly relations, the bidder will be required to provide a detailed chart of the shareholding in such bidder or its ultimate parent company, as well as the ultimate owners and beneficiaries of all shareholders that are body corporate in such bidder or its ultimate parent company, along with the bid document.

IPL 2024: BCCI will not allow Chinese brands to bid for the IPL Title sponsorship rights

The Mumbai Indians and Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan's unwillingness to play domestic first class cricket and instead prioritize the IPL may compel the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to mandate that Indian team players must participate in a certain number of Ranji Trophy matches to be eligible to play in the IPL and be included in the T20 league's auction pool.



According to some news reports, the top officials of the BCCI have directed Ishan Kishan to play in Jharkhand's final Ranji Trophy group match against Rajasthan starting this Friday, no matter what.



Kishan's absence from the games after citing mental exhaustion as the reason for taking a break from the test series against South Africa has not been well received by the top officials of the BCCI. The situation became even more problematic when the 25 year old was seen in a video practicing with the new captain of the Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya, while his state team, Jharkhand, is struggling near the bottom of the Ranji Trophy?s group A standings.



There is widespread agreement that a firm policy must be followed so that a group of young cricketers do not make playing only in T20 leagues like the IPL a regular practice. ?The people in charge at the BCCI know that some players are not interested in any first-class cricket. If they are dropped from the Indian national team, they might at most play a few games in the Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament and then not show up for their state side during the multi-day cricket season, a high-ranking BCCI figure told PTI anonymously.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/05/Hardik-Pandya-and-Krunal-Pandya.jpg" alt="Hardik and Krunal Pandya donated more oxygen concentrators to Covid centres" class="wp-image-62812" /></figure>



?In order to control such players, the board will probably make it compulsory to play 3?4 Ranji Trophy matches. If players do not do so, they will be barred from playing in the IPL or even participating in the IPL auction if released by their franchise.



The state associations feel that unless this directive comes from the top BCCI leadership, some young stars will continue to treat the Ranji Trophy with contempt. It is understood that even the Indian team's leadership is angry with certain players who are always unwilling to play the Ranji Trophy even when fit to do so,? the BCCI high-ranking figure added.



?Hardik Pandya's situation is comprehensible since his body struggles to handle the demands of long-form cricket. He is unable to cope with the intensity of Test matches, and India needs him in peak condition for major ICC tournaments.



However, some other young players, when summoned, claim they are undergoing physiotherapy. There must be a limit imposed at some point,? the official remarked. It will be curious to see whether Kishan ultimately departs from his "new training center" in Baroda and returns to Jamshedpur for Jharkhand's final match of the competition.



When inquired as to whether Kishan would lose his BCCI retainer contract (he has a grade C yearly contract worth Rs 1 crore), the high-ranking BCCI figure said: "No conversations have occurred so far concerning central contracts."

In what comes as a huge blow to the Gujarat Titans, star pacer Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the IPL 2024 due to a left ankle injury that requires immediate surgery. Shami is the leader of the Gujarat Titan?s pace bowling unit. His getting ruled out comes as a huge blow to the franchise, as they already lost the services of former captain Hardik Pandya, who joined the Mumbai Indians in a trade deal. Opener Shubman Gill has taken over the leadership duties of the Gujarat based team following Hardik?s departure.



The Titans have performed really well since their arrival in the Indian Premier League in 2022. They won the IPL 2022 in their debut season, and last year, they reached the final, where they lost against MS Dhoni?s CSK in a last-ball thriller. Since their arrival in the league, Shami has played a really important role in Gujarat?s success in the IPL. The speedster picked up 20 wickets in IPL 2022 and improved even more last year when he managed to get 28 scalps at an outstanding average of 18.64.



GT has not made any official announcement regarding the replacement for Shami, but they can pick a replacement from the list of players who went unsold during the 2024 IPL auction. The only condition is that the replacement?s base price cannot exceed the base price of Mohammed Shami (2 crore Indian rupees).

</div></figure>



The 33-year old seamer, who is not a part of the Indian team?s squad for the ongoing test series against England, last played for the Men in Blue in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia in November last year.



?He (Mohammed Shami) was in London in the last week of January in order to take special ankle injections, and he was informed after three weeks that he could start doing light running and carry forward from there on.



?But the injections have not yielded any kind of results, and the only option left for him is surgery. He will shortly leave for the UK to get the surgery done on his left ankle. He is for sure not going to play any part in the IPL 2024,? a senior BCCI figure told PTI.



This recent development has raised concerns regarding the NCA?s injury rehabilitation management programme. Bhuvneshwar Kumar also struggled with a lot of injuries in the past, and he visited the NCA for treatment, but whenever he took the field, he got injured continuously and kept on visiting the NCA again and again.



Shami is a doubt for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, and his surgery will require quite a long time to heal properly. He won?t return before India?s home test match series against New Zealand and Bangladesh (October?November).

Mumbai Indians Breaking: Mumbai Indians' star batsman, Suryakumar Yadav, may remain absent in the first two matches of the Indian Premier League. The 33-year-old player has been at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for the last three months after undergoing sports hernia surgery in January. According to reports, Suryakumar Yadav is fit to return to the cricket field, but BCCI does not want to take any chances. Because the T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start immediately after the IPL ends, his presence is important.



The Mumbai Indians will start the IPL 2024 campaign on the 27th. In the first match, Mumbai will face Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans. This match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The second match of the 17th season will be played against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27. There is a possibility that Suryakumar will join the Mumbai Indians camp after these two matches.



According to BCCI sources, ?Suryakumar Yadav's rehabilitation is on track, and he will certainly 'Return to Play' in the IPL itself. However, it is still not clear whether the NCA's Sports Science and Medical Team will give clearance to play in the first two away games against the Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad (March 27).?



In the absence of Suryakumar, Mumbai Indians management has no shortage of options. The manager can replace him with African batsman Dewald Brevis, who is famous for his attacking batting. Or captain Hardik Pandya himself can come to bat at number three because last season Pandya was seen playing well at number three for the Gujarat Titans. The Mumbai Indians will miss a consistent and game-changing talent like Suryakumar.

IPL 2024: Virat Kohli has been away from the game of cricket since January 2024 due to personal reasons. The legendary cricketer had traveled to Hyderabad with the Indian team for the first test match against England, but then he decided to miss the first two tests. Later, he withdrew his name from the entire five-match test series against England due to the birth of his second child, and no official update has been provided regarding his return since then.



The fans are anxiously waiting to get an official update regarding the return of Virat Kohli, who plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. There's some good news for Virat Kohli fans, as the former RCB skipper will be participating in the opening game of RCB against the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. According to a news report from India Today, Virat is likely to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore camp on March 17th. RCB will be hosting their unboxing event on March 19, 2024, and Kohli is expected to be a part of that event.



The 35-year-old will be making his much-awaited return to the cricketing field in Bangalore's opening IPL 2024 match against CSK on February 22 at Chennai?s Chepauk Stadium. The Bangalore-based team will then take on the Punjab Kings on March 25 at Bangalore?s Chinnaswamy Stadium. Their third game of the season will be against the Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29 in Bangalore, and after the match against KKR, RCB will play host to the Lucknow Super Giants on April 2.



The Faf Du Plessis-led team will travel to Jaipur to lock horns against the Rajasthan Royals in April. The full schedule of IPL 2024 has not been revealed, as the BCCI has released the schedule of just the first 21 games of the IPL as they are waiting to get information regarding the dates of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections before announcing the remaining schedule of IPL 2024.

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.

"Pakistan darr gaya"- PCB attacked as they are yet to announce ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad

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>

<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>
