Sam Ayub
Pakistan Squad for Champions Trophy 2025: This time a total of eight teams are participating in the Champions Trophy 2025. ICC had already announced that all the teams will have to announce their squads by January 12. So far 6 teams have been announced, but two teams are left. These are India and Pakistan. Actually, both these teams are waiting for updates on the injury of their star players. But still it is believed that the squad will be declared by January 18. Meanwhile, a big and important update is coming out regarding the Pakistan team.
Sam Ayub can join Pakistani cricket team
Pakistan’s explosive opening batsman Sam Ayub was injured in the series against South Africa. His leg was twisted while fielding at the boundary. At that very moment it was understood that Sam Ayub would not be able to return soon. The first match of the Champions Trophy will be played on 19 February. There is still more than a month left for this. But the question is whether Sam Ayub will recover in a month. Meanwhile, news has come out quoting PTI, in which it has been said that the selection committee of PCB has selected Sam Ayub in Pakistan’s preliminary team for the Champions Trophy. Although the Pakistan Cricket Board has not yet made the official announcement of the team, it is certain that players like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan are going to be included in it.
Team can be changed till 13th February
An informed source has told PTI that the selectors have included Sam Ayub, although he is not fully fit yet. Changes to the preliminary squad can be made until February 13. If Sam Ayub is not fit even by 13th February, then it is possible that some other player may be included in the team in his place. But this is a big bet for Pakistan. It is true that Sam Ayub is in amazing form at the moment and is scoring a lot of runs with his bat, but if he is played somewhere without being completely fit, then Sam Ayub’s injury could become even more serious. Can. Sam Ayub is still in London, if the doctors say so, he will start the rehabilitation there and the doctors will also be able to see whether he is recovering or not.
The picture is still not clear regarding Jasprit Bumrah.
If we talk about India, Team India has also not been announced yet. India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is injured. He was injured in the last match of the series played against Australia, so he could not even come to bowl in the last innings. It is believed that this is why India’s squad has not been announced yet. But still the Indian team will also come forward by 19th January. All the other players are completely fit, the team will be declared as soon as the picture regarding Jasprit Bumrah is clear. For now we will have to wait for a few days.
