In a few days, BCCI will announce India’s squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Here, we take a look at the list of three Indians who could shockingly miss out on the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy squad.
Surely, we can expect some surprises in the announcement. There are already rumours floating that some key names may not find a spot in the side. Gautam Gambhir is someone who could take bold decisions. The betterment of the squad also requires such moves. Therefore, the fans could be in for a few surprises in the coming days.
1) Rishabh Pant
It has to do with his white-ball form that Pant might miss out on an ICC event. KL Rahul is likely to be given the role of the wicket-keeper. Due to his recent form, Sanju Samson has a better chance of being in the squad as the backup keeper. That said, since Pant is a left-hander, the selectors could consider his case, as well.
2) Ravindra Jadeja could miss the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy squad
Ravindra Jadeja is one of the Indians who could shockingly miss out on the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy squad. Till now, Gautam Gambhir has not shown great confidence in Jadeja. Now that Axar Patel is also doing well, Jaddu might face the sack. He has been under-whelming in both the departments and that could be a reason for his situation.
3) Washington Sundar
The Tamil Nadu man, on current bowling form, should be a selection to the side. However, India could select both Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja as the all-rounders. Plus, one of Varun CV’s or Kuldeep Yadav’s could come in as the frontline spinner. Unless Sundar seriously improves his batting, opportunities might be going against him. Therefore, this is something that Sundar must work on, especially in the white-ball formats.
