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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.
