The Australian Cricket Team is a very dominant side. The team is looking good and it is shaping up well. There are a few big names that have missed out and many cricket pundits have criticized the ACB for that. Cameron Green is one such guy who has missed out. But there are many other essential match winners in the Australian team. These are players who cannot be replaced as they are one of a kind. Here is a look at the 3 most important players for the Australian Cricket Team at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;



<h2>Pat Cummins will play for the Australian Cricket Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Pat-Cummins.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-95107" width="750"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Josh Hazlewood has line and length, Mitchell Starc has unreal pace and Pat Cummins has both. While speaking about the tri of the Australian Cricket Team, Pat Cummins is the guy who cannot be replaced. Cummins adds immense value to any team he plays for. He can easily bat at number 7 and hit the ball a long way. When it comes to bowling, he has got these precise yorkers and sharp bouncers. He doesn?t look super quick but easily clocks over 145 clicks. He can bowl in the powerplay and even at the death. &nbsp;



<h2>Matthew Wade will play for the Australian Cricket Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Matthew-Wade-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-95106"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: ACB</figcaption></figure>



Matthew Wade is aging like fine wine. He is the Dinesh Karthik of the Australian Cricket Team. After taking Australia to one T20 World Cup win in 2021, Wade will be keen on doing it again. The world doesn?t have a better finisher than Wade at the moment. He is scoring at the strike rate of 180 and is super consistent. The ?finisher? is a high-risk role and the approach that this position requires is different. Wade is doing the same with maturity. Wade cannot be easily replaced because he keeps wickets and brings in a lot of experience. &nbsp;



<h2>Steve Smith:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Steve-Smith-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-95108"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: ESPNCricInfo</figcaption></figure>



Steve Smith is the glue that binds the Australian batting together. So, you have all the big hitters in the form of Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, and Matthew Wade and the one that keeps them together is Steve Smith. Smith ensures that all these stroke makers get a safe space to play and have someone to rely on. He plays the ?anchor? of the innings. He can attack when required, but the others take that role. He cannot be easily replaced as all the young Australian batters are of the ?Slam Bang? mindset. &nbsp;

Australian Cricket Team: 3 Important Players at the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.&nbsp;

australian-cricket-team-3-important-players-at-the-icc-t20-world-cup-2022

The IPL 2023 Auction is going to be underway in December or January. The franchises are expected to announce their retentions and releases in the next few weeks. There are many teams that have found the balance and will not be intending to release many players. The Gujarat Titans are one such team. They have a balanced squad, but will be expecting new faces to join them too. So, who are the top 3 players that they might release before the IPL 2023 auction? Here is a look:?



<h2>Gujarat Titans Might Release Matthew Wade Before IPL 2023 Auction:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/11/Matthew-Wade-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 Auction" class="wp-image-97141" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Matthew Wade is aging like fine wine. His age is not the question. The concern is the mindset and the concept of the IPL. It happens to be ?a platform for young and talented players?. Keeping that in mind, there is a chance that the Gujarat Titans may release Matthew Wade. Wade was bought for 2.4 Crores in the IPL Mega Auction 2022. Wade is playing exceptionally well as a finisher for Australia but there are fresher faces on the market. Glenn Phillips can be one option for the Titans. &nbsp;



<h2>Vijay Shankar:&nbsp;</h2>



Vijay Shankar quickly slid down the cards. Vijay who was once a national team prospect and India?s top option to bat at number 4 is now out of contention. He was given multiple opportunities to bat at number 3, one of the best positions in T20 cricket, but he failed. He was cited to be Hardik Pandya?s replacement but as the cricket community knows, there is only ?One Hardik Pandya?. He can be replaced by any other fast-bowling all-rounder. The Gujarat Titans can go for Cameron Green too. ?



<h2>Rahul Tewatia Might be Released by the Gujarat Titans Before IPL 2023 Auction:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/11/Rahul-Tewatia-min.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 Auction" class="wp-image-97140" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Rahul Tewatia for 9 Crores is a very big investment. Rahul is a good player. He is one of India?s top spin-bowling all-rounders. But is he worth 9 Crores, is the question! If the Titans want to liquidate some money and want to reassure Tewatia?s price in the market, they can ask him to part ways and then again go for him in the IPL 2023 Auction. Tewatia was one of their top match-winners last season and hence it is assumed that Tewatia will play for the Titans next season but it is always great to get players at their actual market value, isn?t it? ?

IPL 2023 Auction: Top 3 Players That the Gujarat Titans Can Release Before IPL Auction 2023. &nbsp;

ipl-2023-auction-top-3-players-that-the-gujarat-titans-can-release-before-ipl-auction-2023

The<a href="https://www.iplt20.com/auction" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/auction"> Indian Premier League </a>(IPL) 2023 kick-started with a staggering encounter between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi International Stadium. It was a dream start for the Hardik Pandya-led side as they continued from where they left off last season and begin their new season?s campaign on a high note.?



They mark their first win of the season by 5 wickets as they displayed brilliant batting and bowling performance. Based on a staggering bowling performance by Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shami and Alzarri Joseph, they restricted the opposition to a total of 178 runs. However, after that Shubman Gill oozed his class and smashed a half-century. A cameo from other batters then helped GT outclass CSK and win the game by 5 wickets.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Changes that Gujarat Titans (GT) might make for their second match despite a win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_7649.jpg" alt="Kane Williamson" class="wp-image-106227" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kane Williamson injured his knee against CSK | BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



The win against Chennai Super Kings in the opener of the tournament was a testimony of Gujarat Titans have fared since the last season. Although it was a new perfect game for them but few concerns were there too. They are next slated to play Delhi Capitals on 4th April and it?s likely that they can make a few changes as well. As the game is a few days away from now, let?s take a look at two changes that Gujarat Titans (GT) might make for their second match despite a win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1641870840294961153?s=20
</div></figure>



1. Matthew Wade in place of Kane Williamson&nbsp;



One forced change that Gujarat might make in their second game against Delhi Capitals is they can replace Kane Williamson with Matthew Wade. The Kiwi batter suffered a knee injury in the first game while fielding and it is learned that he has been ruled out of the tournament. Therefore with Miller not being available there for the second game, Wade will be the first choice to walk into the XI. The Australian keeper-batted played a crucial role for GT last year and chipped in with handy contributions. It?ll be an opportunity for Made to lock his spot in the team and give a headache to the team management.?

https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1642045478991990784?s=20
</div></figure>



2. Jayant Yadav in place of Yash Dayal&nbsp;



It?s fair to say that Gujarat Titans had plenty of fast-bowling options in the first game and going to Delhi would mean that they can curtail it. The Delhi pitch is traditionally a slow wicket and teams prefer playing spinners on that surface. Therefore, the Hardik Pandya-led side can look to replace Yash Dayal with Jayant Yadav. The left-arm spinner has been quite economical in the league and has performed well in the limited opportunities that he got.?

Apart from these two changes, Gujarat Titans are unlikely to make a change to their XI. Here?s the probable GT playing XI for their second game against DC:?



Wriddhiman Saha (wk)? Shubman Gill? Matthew Wade? Hardik Pandya (c)? Vijay Shankar? Rahul Tewatia? Rashid Khan? Jayant Yadav Mohammad Shami? Joshua Little? Alzarri Joseph



Here?s Gujarat Titans?(GT) squad for the tournament:?

Gujarat Titans: Just like the league stage, the business end of the<a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com"> Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023 has been enthralling to the eyes as well. After 72 games and weeks full of entertainment, just three teams are left and one among with them will certainly have another title in the kitty. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has advanced to the final whereas Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will clash in the Qualifier 2 to enter the final.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GT vs MI: 2 changes that Gujarat Titans might make for Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians</h2>



Gujarat Titans (GT) suffered a disappointing 15-run loss against Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1. But thanks to their performance in the league stage, they have one more chance to go to the final. They will lock horns against Mumbai Indians on Friday (26th May) and would be wanting to rectify mistakes they made in the game against CSK. In this piece, we take a look at 2 changes that Gujarat Titans might make for Qualifier 2 against Mumbai Indians:?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/gujarat_titans/status/1661643670586630145?s=20
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KS Bharat in place of Wriddhiman Saha?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/KS-Bharat-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-81174" /></figure>



Wriddhiman Saha hasn?t quite lived up to the expectations this season. Gujarat Titans have been often losing wickets in the power play and the reason behind that has been Saha. The keeper-batter tries to take the bowlers to the cleaners and in the process has been losing his wickets. 



However, in the big games in playoffs, this could put the team under pressure as was quite evident in the first game. On the other hand, KS Bharat has been on the sidelines since the first game and with the kind of ability he has his batting at the top of the order could be handy for the team in the game against Mumbai Indians and could be a great partner for Shubman Gill at the top.?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Matthew Wade in place of Dasun Shanaka?</h2>



In the last few games, Gujarat Titans have given the opportunity to Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka. The right-hander however has failed and hasn?t don?t justice to his spot in the team. Matthew Wade on the other hand played a pivotal role for the team in their title win last year but hasn?t found a place this time. With him being the match player and experienced as well, he might be in contention to replace Shanaka in the team. Also, GT are lacking a quality No.3 batter and it?s for to say that Wade can fill that void.?

Cricket Australia finally confirm what?s buzzing for them in preparation for the Champions Trophy to be held next year in 2025. The mighty Aussies recently faced a huge setback as they could not make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup after losses against Afghanistan and India. In the longer limited-overs format, the mighty Aussies have been the most dominating side to date, be it in any part of the world. They have already shown their composure and calibre in the sub-continent in the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, where they defeated the hosts to be crowned as the World Champions for the 6th time in World Cup history. Recently, after their World Cup exit, veteran batter David Warner announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket, through his cryptic post on Instagram just days later, the Aussie veteran indicated that he would be more than available for his team if they need him in the upcoming Champions trophy.

</figure>



However, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bailey_(cricketer,_born_1982)">George Bailey</a>, the Australian selector clearly stated that Warner is now considered retired by them and he won?t be seen any further in the yellow-coloured shirt. He also praised the left-hander's immense contribution to world cricket and has accredited his greatness. "Our understanding is that David is retired, and [he] should be commended on what has been an incredible career across all three formats," Bailey said. "Certainly, our plannig is that he won't be there in Pakistan. The selector stressed focusing on the future of Australian cricket, especially in the shorter format, as they look to go all hands down on Fraser-McGurk and Cooper Connolly. However, several senior players still retain their chances.

</figure>



Matthew Wade might not be seen featuring any further in the shortest format for the Aussies, however, Glen Maxwell and Mitchell Starc, two very senior and finest players in limited-overs cricket, might not be seen immediately with the Kangaroos in their tours for Scotland and England. However, he has not ruled out the likes of these players for contention in the T20 World Cup 2026 to be held in India.

With the Champions League approaching like many great teams, Cricket Australia are also looking to rebuild their squad, as now they look to focus on another bright stint of Australian cricket in the coming years, which might be led by the likes of Pat Cummins, Cam Green and dynamic batter Travis Head.

The entire cricket fraternity is on its feet with high levels of adrenaline rushing as the mega-auction for the IPL 2025 is creeping near. The reports from several renowned sports papers and sites have confirmed that the highly anticipated mega-auction will be held in Riyadh by the 24th or 25th of November. The teams went on to announce their retentions on the 31st of October, and while some retentions took them by surprise, there were also some players released, which seemed totally unreasonable. Franchises are all busy making their last-minute plans as every team looks to make key additions ahead of the upcoming IPL. In the upcoming mega-auction, there might be chances of some of the greatest players being left unsold due to the teams limiting their purse on key retentions.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="matthew-wade">Matthew Wade </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Wade-IPL.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149234" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Matthew Wade IPL (Image: Gujarat Samachar)</figcaption></figure>



Wade recently retired from international cricket as well. Though he has been a domestic legend and a very crucial player for years in the BBL, Wade has never had a very impressive run in the IPL. In his career, he played in only 15 matches, where he scored 183 runs, averaging 13.07. Matthew Wade was part of the Gujarat Titans, and despite his weak performances, the Titans lifted the cup back in 2022. Titans released him, and he might go unsold this time in the auction. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="keshav-maharaj">Keshav Maharaj</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Keshav-Maharaj-IPL-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149235" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Maharaj IPL (Image Credit: IPL) </figcaption></figure>



Maharaj was featured for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024, where the experienced spinner played his first two games in the IPL. His record, though, has been impressive in the shortest format, and Maharaj also has some quality batting ability. Despite all, the IPL would not look to have the services of as big a left-arm spinner, as India has many such players in the role. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="shai-hope">Shai Hope</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Shai-Hope-IPL.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-149236" style="width:691px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shai Hope - Delhi Capitals (Image Credit: CricTracker)</figcaption></figure>



The Windies limited-overs skipper, Hope, has played several crucial innings for his national side. While the Delhi Capitals had included him with INR 75 crore, he was not much used in the services, and even he didn?t seem likely in form. Hope has been released by the Capitals, and despite many teams in need of wicketkeepers, it is not very likely to feature him any further for any franchise in the upcoming IPL.

One of the biggest names on the list and one of the greatest players of the generation. The Kiwi star has had successful seasons with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrisers_Hyderabad">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> and also led them to a final in 2018. In 79 IPL games, he has scored 2128 runs with an average of 35.47. Williamson since 2022 has not featured in the IPL, despite being in the Gujarat Titans camp owing to his often injured status. Williamson will not look to fancy much chances of him into the upcoming mega-auction.

Another big name on the list, but probably age and form are what don?t make him an ideal choice for IPL anymore. Though Rahane had some great seasons with CSK, his form didn?t click last season. His high strike rate fancied his chances in the yellow jersey over the first season. Rahane, the great IPL veteran, might for the second time not be picked by any team in the mega-auction, which might also draw curtains to his career in the IPL.

IPL 2025: Five of the players released ahead of the mega auction who might go unsold in the auction

ipl-2025-five-of-the-players-released-ahead-of-the-mega-auction-who-might-go-unsold-in-the-auction

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

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.
