The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is about to play in Pakistan as well as the United Arab Emirates, as India is not treveling Pakistan due to some security reasons. Here, you will see the India squad for Champions Trophy 2025 and their replacement of injured players. Where all teams are ready and announced their squad and replacement of their injured player, India also has announced his updated squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
India will be considered as one of the strongest teams in Champions Trophy 2025, as they were the world champions in t20 format last year in the t20 world cup. Pakistan is all set to hold the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This tournament will be played at three venues in Pakistan, in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawilpindi.
All teams are geared up for the big challenge, where some teams will want to win their first ICC trophy while others are willing to add more ICC trophy for their teams.
India was looking too strong when Jasprit Bumrah was in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but unfortunately he was ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and India went one step back as their main bowler was not available. India will lose some edge in the availability of Jasprit Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the modern era. His yorker is unplayable, as batsmen don’t want to face him when he is at his peak. India won many of it’s matches only because of Jasprit Bumrah.

First match of India in Champions Trophy 2025
India will play his first match in the Champions Trophy 2025 against Bangladesh on 20th February in Dubai International Stadium. The biggest rivelry will have to watch on the 23rd of February, where India and Pakistan will be head to each other; both teams are in form, as Pakistan will be too confident as they beat South Africa in a high-scoring run chase. While on the other side, India is coming with a big win as they defeated England with 3-0 in his home town.
India squad for champions trophy 2025
India updated their squad after their two players were ruled out of Champions Trophy 2025. The players who were out are Jasprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Inida named Harshit Rana as their replacement of Jasprit Bumrah, and Varun Chakaravarthy comes for Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Updated India squad for Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakaravarthy.
Traveling reserved: Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shivam Dube.
5 spinners in India’s squad: India chooses 5 spinners where they can only play 2 because of plat pitches in Dubai. In Dubai, temperature will be high, and India will need pace bowling attack in those conditions, but India chooses only three pace bowling options, while Hardik Padndya will be it’s fourth pace option. Inida will not want Hardik as their third main pace bowling option in too much pressure games.
Mohammad Siraj could be India’s best choice after Jasprit Bumrah, as he was one of the highest wicket takers in ODI for India since the last few years, and he was the second lowest economical bowler for India in ODI after Jasprit Bumrah, but perhaps Inida has some other plan in their baggage.
