Will Virat and Rohit make it to India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025

The Indian cricket team faced a disappointing 1-3 series loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, shifting focus to white-ball cricket with England's upcoming tour and the 2025 Champions Trophy in February. The 15-member provisional squad for the Champions Trophy is set to be announced by January 12, with changes allowed until February 13. The tournament will begin on February 19. Players in contention for the squad are expected to feature in the ODI series against England, with Jasprit Bumrah being a possible vice-captain under Rohit Sharma. Bumrah's rise may affect the roles of Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. Arshdeep Singh and Shreyas Iyer, based on domestic performances, are also in the mix. Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh criticized the "superstar culture" in the team, urging the BCCI to prioritize players' current form over reputation when selecting the squad for future assignments.
