India Champions Trophy Squad Announcement: Karun Nair snubbed, question remains over Bumrah fitness

There will be no Karun Nair in the Champions Trophy and Shubman Gill will be vice-captain. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also found a place in the squad. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have been included, as have Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. However, Mohammed Siraj has been dropped while Rana could be active only during the three-match series against England.

Team India has been at the center of a whirlwind of developments, leaks, and speculation following the challenging Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where the side faced a 1-3 defeat. Several pressing questions may find answers as captain Rohit Sharma and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar prepare to address the media. The duo will announce the squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy and the preceding three-match ODI series against England.
