<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BCCI named a new T20I squad:</h2>

They had done well as a finisher for their team but couldn't get a call for the Indian Team in T20 cricket.



Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was also in great touch in the IPL 2023, will most probably open for Indian Team along with Shubman Gill in this series against West Indies.&nbsp;

In the Pace Department, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukes Kumar and Arshdeep Singh are in the squad, whereas Hardik Pandya could also bowl some overs. The Bowling Department looks very fresh, and there is no experienced player.

A lot of development has been made in recent times in the Indian Camp regarding the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024. The one of biggest is Skipper Rohit Sharma and<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=+Virat+Kohli" rel="nofollow"> Virat Kohli</a> will be opening for Team India in the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024 however, it is yet to be officially announced by BCCI.



The ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to start from June 01, 2024, to June 29, 2024. The USA and West Indies are the host nations of the T20 World Cup 2024 but most of the matches will be played in West Indies. India and Pakistan are in Group A with Ireland, Canada and the USA, therefore we can witness the greatest rivalry in the T20 World Cup 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is Virat Kohli set to open with Rohit Sharma?</h2>



In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Virat Kohli usually came to open for Royal Challengers Bengaluru with Faf du Plessis and he indeed had success in it. Rohit Sharma has been a phenomenal opening batsman but youngsters Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal weren't in their best form in the TATA IPL 2024.



This led the selection panel to think about Virat Kohli as an opener in the Indian Team for the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024. However, as per the reports, Shubman Gill will be the backup opener of the Indian Team in this tournament and Yashasvi Jaiswal is likely to not get added to the squad.?

Riyan Parag has been playing exceptional cricket in the TATA IPL 2024 for Rajasthan Royals as he is the second leading run-scorer of the tournament after Virat Kohli. If Riyan Parag continues the same performance throughout the tournament then it will be a huge benefit for the Indian Team in the T20 World Cup 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hardik Pandya needs to bowl regularly in IPL to get the chance in T20 World Cup 2024:</h2>



Hardik Pandya isn't playing good cricket in the TATA IPL 2024 either by bat or ball. Most importantly, he is not bowling regularly for Mumbai Indians in the TATA IPL 2024 therefore BCCI have informed him to bowl regularly in IPL to get added to the Indian Team for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024.

The 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy is getting closer and closer and the marquee event of this year is set to commence on the 19th of February as tournament hosts Pakistan will be taking on 2019 ODI World Cup runner's up New Zealand in the opening clash. While majority of the participating teams have unveiled their squads for the competition, the squad of Team India has not been revealed yet by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). 
Many fans are waiting eagerly for the squad announcement and much to the joy of the fans, a big announcement has come forward and the BCCI now is fully prepared to unveil the squad of the Men in Blue. The squad is set to be announced tomorrow i.e on Saturday, 18th of January. 
Before the commencement of the Champions Trophy, the Indian team will be participating in a bilateral white ball series event versus England, where both the Fierce-Rivals will be locking horns versus each other in five T20 International contests and three One-Day Matches. 
The three ODI's will be really important as they will act as a preparatory ground for the Men in Blue ahead of the Champions Trophy. The five-match T20 International series versus the Three Lions kicks off from the 22nd of January and the squad for that series has already been announced, but the ODI series squad is yet to be announced. It's anticipated that the BCCI will simultaneously announce the Indian Team squad for the ODI Series and the Champions Trophy 2025.
A press conference will take place after the conclusion of the meeting of the selectors and this conference will take place at 12:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) in the afternoon. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector will be taking part in this conference.
<h2>Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in the months of February &amp; March</h2>

The Indian Team are a part of Group-A alongside Fierce-Rivals Pakistan, New Zealand &amp; Bangladesh. The Rohit Sharma-led team will play their first match versus the Bangladeshi Tigers on the 20th of February. 
<h2>India lifted the Champions Trophy title in 2013 </h2>
It is worth noting that Team India won the Champions Trophy title in 2013 under the leadership of the legendary MS Dhoni. After this, in the Champions Trophy played in 2017, Team India had to face defeat against versus Fierce-Rivals Pakistan in the final.

Champions Trophy: Team India's squad set to be announced tomorrow, everything you need to know

champions-trophy-team-india-s-squad-set-to-be-announced-tomorrow-everything-you-need-to-know

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is just around the corner, and cricket enthusiasts worldwide are buzzing with excitement. The BCCI announced the Indian squad on January 18. Led by the experienced Rohit Sharma, the team’s journey begins in Dubai, where all their group-stage matches will be played.
For Indian fans, the stakes are high as the Men in Blue prepare to make a mark on the global stage. India’s campaign starts with a clash against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by a Sunday showdown bound to attract millions of viewers.
With the tournament adopting a hybrid model, the Indian squad, selected with a mix of youth and experience, is raring to go. Adding to the intrigue, several players are returning from injuries, raising questions about their fitness and form.
Jasprit Bumrah, one of the world’s most feared pacers, is under the spotlight, recovering from a stress-related injury. Kuldeep Yadav, the team’s wrist-spinning maestro, also makes a comeback post-surgery, and their readiness could be a game-changer.
<h2>A Closer Look at India’s Squad</h2>
The 15-man squad combines seasoned stars and emerging talent. Vice-captain Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma would lead the charge at the top, and Yashasvi Jaiswal might wait in the wings as the reserve opener.
The middle-order sees familiar faces like Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul, while all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel add depth and balance. Notably, Rishabh Pant returns as a wicketkeeping option, with Washington Sundar offering versatility with both bat and ball.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_6770bfe836cb4.jpg" alt="">
India’s bowling attack is spearheaded by Mohammed Shami, fresh from his impressive World Cup campaign, and Arshdeep Singh, who has been rewarded for his consistent domestic performances. However, the team’s reliance on Bumrah’s fitness and Kuldeep’s return to form remains a pivotal aspect of their strategy. Harshit Rana is in the setup as Bumrah’s backup, ready to step in if needed during the pre-tournament ODIs against England.
India Squad for ICC Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja
<h2>India Fixtures and Tournament Format </h2>
India is placed in Group A, alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh. The group stages promise intense competition, with the top two teams advancing to the semi-finals. The format ensures every match is crucial, especially given the high-stakes encounter against Pakistan, a fixture that never fails to electrify the cricketing world.
With the tournament’s knockout games scheduled in neutral venues, India’s progress could see them playing semi-finals and finals in the UAE, depending on their performance.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_67677a50637c1.jpg" alt="">
The tournament’s hybrid hosting model adds a layer of complexity. While India plays exclusively in Dubai due to political tensions, other Group A matches are spread across Pakistan. This unique arrangement, finalized between the ICC and cricket boards, ensures that all matches remain accessible to global audiences while respecting geopolitical sensitivities.
India’s campaign starts with a clash against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by the highly anticipated encounter against Pakistan on February 23, a Sunday showdown bound to attract millions of viewers. Their final league match will see them face New Zealand on March 2, concluding the group stage with high drama.
With defending champions Pakistan kicking off the tournament on February 19 against New Zealand, the Champions Trophy promises high-octane cricket. Group B, featuring heavyweights like Australia, England, South Africa, and Afghanistan, also offers nail-biting contests. The semi-finals and final, scheduled for early March, are expected to be fiercely competitive, with India aiming to lift the trophy after a hiatus of over a decade.

<h2>India’s Preparations: ODIs Against England</h2>
Ahead of the Champions Trophy, India will face England in three ODIs on February 6, 9, and 12.

Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 
Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. 
Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out. 
<h2>Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </h2>
Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon. 
"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation. 
"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read. 
Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball. 
Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option. 
Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.

Australia shocked! Captain ruled out of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option.

Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers.

This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
