Yashasvi Jaiswal
Champions trophy 2025 team India: Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, suffered a shock when it was announced late on Tuesday that Jaspreet Bumrah Champions Trophy would not be able to play in 2025. Bumrah was injured in the Test series against Australia. When the BCCI first released the squad of the Indian team, there was Bumrah in it. It was expected that they would fit before this ICC tournament, but it could not happen and they had to be out. Harshit Rana has got a place in the team in his place. But apart from this, the BCCI has made another strange decision, which is beyond comprehension. Now the questions are arising that this mistake of the BCCI Selection Committee should not be heavy on Team India.
Harshit Rana’s entry in place of Jaspreet Bumrah
After being out of Jaspreet Bumrah, the BCCI has opened doors for Harshit Rana. Harshit Rana made his ODI debut during the ODI series being played between India and England. He created a sensation with three wickets in the first match, but in the second match he could take only one wicket. Now the third match is left and they can be seen playing in it. It was already expected that if Jaspreet Bumrah is out, then he will take Harshit Rana in his place. Although the name was also going on by Mohammad Siraj, he has been included in the team as a reserve.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is also out, Varun Chakraborty was involved
Meanwhile, another change has been made in Team India. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was included in the first team, has also been removed from the main team and put in the reserve. At the same time, Varun Chakraborty has been given a place in the team in his place. But the question is here. Four spinners were already included in the Indian team, but now a opener has been removed and another spinner has been given an entry. That is, now there have been five spinners in the squad of the Champions Trophy. The Dubai pitch will definitely be helpful for spinners, but carrying five spinners simultaneously can be overwhelming on Team India. He too removes an opener and taking a pure spinner in the team is a big and important decision in itself.
This decision may be overshadowed
The Champions Trophy was already a spinner as Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja. Now Varun Chakraborty has entered. While the fast bowlers are only three. Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana have been placed. Apart from Hardik Pandya, there is no other player in the team, who can make pace. Although Shivam Dubey has also been taken, he has been included as a reserve player. These are some big decisions, if the team continues to win then it is not a matter, but if you have to face defeat, then there will be criticism, for this, BCCI will also have to answer.
India’s team for Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice-Qetan), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakraborty.
Reserve player: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammad Siraj and Shivam Dubey.
