The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to announce the national squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Saturday, January 18, 2025. The selection meeting will be followed by a press conference at 12:30 PM IST at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, featuring team captain Rohit Sharma and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar.
This announcement is highly anticipated, as it will reveal the players chosen to represent India in the prestigious Champions Trophy, scheduled to take place in Dubai and Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, 2025. The preceding ODI series against England will serve as crucial preparation for the tournament.
Reports suggest that ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to be included in the squad due to a back injury. Despite this setback, Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the team, continuing his role as captain. The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, faces the task of balancing experienced players with emerging talents to form a competitive squad.
The press conference will provide insights into the selection process and the strategic considerations for both the England series and the Champions Trophy. Fans and cricket analysts are eager to hear from Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar regarding the team’s composition and objectives for the upcoming challenges.
