The Indian team for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has not been officially announced yet, but this announcement can be made on January 18 or 19. However, even before the team selection, cricket experts have selected the probable 15-member Indian team. These experts believe that these players can also be included in the team announced by BCCI, because these players seem to be the best options at present.
Election of cricket experts
Star Sports’ cricket experts have picked a balanced team. The players in the team were selected as follows:
- Spin Options:
- Only two spinners have been included in the team, in which there is also an all-rounder.
- Pacers and all-rounders:
- Three leading fast bowlers and two pace all-rounders have been selected.
- Wicketkeepers and Batsmen:
- Apart from two wicketkeeper batsmen, six main batsmen have been given place.
This team has been created keeping in mind balance and current form.
Nitish Reddy’s selection difficult
However, it seems difficult for Nitish Reddy to be included in the final team selected for the Champions Trophy.
- The Indian team already has a key pace all-rounder in Hardik Pandya.
- If Hardik Pandya is not fit, Nitish Reddy may get a chance.
- In such a situation, the team management and selectors can include another leading spinner in the team.
