After a thrilling battle between bat and ball in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the focus now turns to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The eight-nation tournament is scheduled to be held from February 19 in Pakistan and the UAE.
All eyes will be on the Indian cricket team as they are under a lot of pressure, especially after their poor performances in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will no doubt be a trial tournament for them now and hence all the limelight will be on them.

Most of the Indian players will leave tonight –
Some of them will be taking a much needed break after this long run – let’s not go into detail, I don’t think we should

In a major development, mystery player Varun Chakravarthy is also learned to be in contention to make the Indian squad for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
BCCI asks the selectors to keep a close eye on Varun Chakravarthy
Chakravarthy has reportedly impressed the selectors with his heroics in the T20Is, hence they want him to be present for the ODIs as well.
Reports add that the BCCI has asked one of the selectors to keep a close eye on Varun Chakravarthy, who is currently playing in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The selectors were asked to monitor the spinner’s fitness, his moments and how well he covers the pitch.
Varun Chakravarthy is doing well in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Varun Chakravarthy is doing well in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He was the shining light for Tamil Nadu in the tournament. In the five matches he has played so far, he has taken 13 wickets at an average of 13.62, and recently registered a fifer.
Varun Chakravarthy recently returned to the Indian team in T20Is, and has been nothing short of exceptional ever since. He set the stage on fire in the Bangladesh National Cricket Team T20I series and took a step forward in the T20I against South Africa.
The Tamil Nadu spinner is yet to make his debut in ODIs. But it is fair to say that if BCCI wants to add him to the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy squad, then there is a good chance that Varun Chakravarthy could make his debut for the team in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England.
The series against England will be the team’s only series ahead of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, so the squad for those matches is expected to give a solid idea of the squad for the tournament. Rohit Sharma is all set to lead the team, after facing a lot of criticism in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
