ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to begin on February 19, with Pakistan hosting the marquee ICC tournament in a hybrid model (neutral venue). India will play all their matches (group-stage games, semifinal and final) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Virat Kohli’s 50-over record is by far the best amongst all formats that he’s played for India in. He is expected to retain his No. 3 spot in the batting lineup for CT 2025. With 295 ODIs, nearly 14,000 runs, and 51 centuries to his name, Kohli will aim to put his recent Test form behind him and shine in the Champions Trophy.

BCCI is likely to postpone the announcement of India's Champions Trophy squad beyond the set deadline by the ICC.

Since his stellar performance at the 2023 ODI World Cup, Mohammed Shami has been left out of the Indian squad. What are his chances to join the team for the Champions Trophy?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may not be able to announce the provisional ODI squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament as they have reportedly requested an extension of the January 12 deadline from the International Cricket Council (ICC).

BCCI has decided to request an extension from the ICC to announce India's squad for the Champions Trophy, which was supposed to be revealed by January 12.

Despite poor run with bat Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be forming the core of Indian batting. There is also concerns over the availability of pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.
