The Champions Trophy 2025 is just around the corner and the excitement is building. But for Indian fans, there’s one burning question: when will India submit their final squad for Champions Trophy?

When Will India Submit Its Final Squad For Champions Trophy?

While the provisional squad has already been announced, there is a lot of suspense surrounding the final list, especially with Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness hanging in the balance.

The deadline for submitting the final 15-man squad is February 11 and the selectors have some big decisions to make. Rohit Sharma and the team management are keenly waiting for clarity on Bumrah’s availability. The ace pacer’s inclusion could be the difference between India going all the way or falling short in this high-pressure ICC event.

Bumrah’s Inclusion Remains A Mystery

India’s bowling spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah has been struggling with an injury he picked up during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Despite being named in the provisional squad for the ongoing ODI series against England, Bumrah hasn’t featured in any of the games.

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar had initially expressed hope that Bumrah might return for the third ODI but that possibility has now been ruled out.

His absence has raised serious doubts about whether he will be fit in time for the Champions Trophy. Without an official update on his injury status, the selectors face a tricky call. If Bumrah isn’t cleared, the question arises—who will replace him?

Harshit Rana In The Mix

In the ongoing series against England, Harshit Rana has shared the new ball with Mohammed Shami. The young pacer has shown flashes of brilliance, and the selectors may consider giving him a shot at his first ICC event. Hardik Pandya’s all-round presence offers balance to the squad, but a reliable pace option will be key on the Dubai pitches.

If Bumrah is ruled out, Harshit could be India’s wildcard pick. However, it’s a decision that the selectors won’t take lightly, given the pressure and expectations of an ICC tournament.

India’s Provisional Squad For Champions Trophy 2025

India’s provisional squad already looks well-rounded, but the final list may see some changes based on fitness and form. Here’s the provisional squad:

Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja.

All eyes will be on the BCCI as the February 11 deadline is today. If Bumrah makes the cut, it will be a massive boost for India’s chances in Dubai. If not, the selectors will need to find a worthy replacement. Either way, India’s Champions Trophy squad announcement is going to be a major talking point in the coming days.
