Injured quick Jasprit Bumrah has been named in India's provisional 15-member squad for next month's Champions Trophy, while spinner Kuldeep Yadav is also set to return after picking up a groin issue in October.

Despite having a sensational run in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, Karun Nair has missed out on India’s squad for the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025. Nair stitched a dream return, scoring 725 runs in just seven innings at a jaw-dropping average of 752, leading Vidarbha to the summit clash against Karnataka.

India's strongest playing XI for ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami.

Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been named in India's provisional 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy, which begins on February 19. The same squad will take on England in three ODIs in early February, with Harshit Rana coming into the set-up as back-up for Bumrah, who may not be ready for the first two matches of the bilateral series.

Former India captain Virat Kohli was recently featured in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 where he scored 190 runs in five Test matches.
