As we all know that Champion Trophy is going to start on 19th February. Every country has announced its best 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy. The top 8 teams are going to participate in this Champions Trophy, which is divided into two groups GROUP (A) and GROUP (B). All Team squads for men’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are as follows.
Group (A)
Group A includes India, Bangladesh, New Zealand and Pakistan. In Group A, all the matches of all the countries will be played in Pakistan but all the matches of India will be played in Dubai because of the rivalry between the two countries. India’s matches have been given neutral value due to not playing in Pakistan.
Squads of Group (A)
Bangladesh
squad : Tanzid Hossain Shanto(C), Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Tanzid Hasan, Mahmudulla, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfique Rahim, Jaker Ali, Parvez Hossain Emon, Rashid Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
Bangladesh squad is very strong but if you go there then you will see two players missing who have been serving Bangladesh cricket for a long time Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Dass. Liton Das could not make a place in the team due to his poor performances as he scored single-digit runs in 5 out of the last 6 innings. Shakib al Hasan has been in trouble for some time due to his bowling action and was he suspended last month, that is why Shakib al Hasan is not able to be a part of this team.

#TeamIndia's squad for the Champions Trophy🔽
— Indian Cricket Team (@incricketteam) January 18, 2025
Rohit (C), Gill (VC), Kohli, Iyer, Rahul, Hardik, Axar, Sundar, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Shami, Arshdeep, Jaiswal, Pant, Jadeja.#ChampionsTrophy pic.twitter.com/bqYiwlWPBV
Squad: Rohit Sharma(C), Virat kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.
Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out from the squad due to swelling, and yashasvi Jaiswal also ruled out from the squad.
Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy are included in the squad
There were a lot of complications in announcing India’s squad. If you look at the squad, there is a huge difference between the 2023 World Cup squad and the 2025 Champions Trophy squad. There has been a lot of difference in the team in recent times. Prasidh Krishna, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ishan Kishan are all included in the previous World Cup team and are not included in the Champions Trophy squad. The most surprising thing is that Mohammed Siraj’s selection is not in the Champion Trophy squad because he has been continuously performing well for India.
Arshdeep Singh has been brought to support Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami in the pace bowling unit and Hardik Pandya is also a part of this squad. Arshdeep Singh has been brought in place of Mohammed Siraj because he has been performing very exceptionally in T20 for India.
India is entering this Champions Trophy tournament with 4 spinners, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Kuldeep Yadav. India is not going to play all its matches in Dubai just because Dubai is going to be a neutral venue for everyone, hence the players are being selected according to the condition of the pitch of Dubai. India is also looking for a number 8 batsman, hence Axar Patel and Washington Sundar are often selected in this squad.
But the most disturbing thing is that Jasprit Bumrah is still not properly fit. According to the reports so far, it is known that Jasprit Bumrah will miss the group matches. But still, Team India wants to include him in its squad so that he remains available for the semi-finals and finals.
New Zealand
Squad: Mitchell Santner (c), Kane Williamson, Mark Chapman, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Michael Bracewell, Glenn Phillips, Nathan Smith, Devon Conway, Tom Latham, William ORourke, Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears, Matt Henry.
Mitchell Santner is the new captain of the New Zealand team. This will be the first time in the last decade that New Zealand is entering any tournament and it will be led by someone else in place of Kane Williamson. Mitchell Santner will lead the New Zealand team in this tournament will be a matter of great responsibility for Mitchell Santner that the New Zealand team is performing consistently in the same way as it did in the previous tournaments.
This is the first tournament in the last decade in which New Zealand’s legendary cricketers Tim Southee and Trent Boult will not participate. In the absence of Trent Boult and Tim Southee, New Zealand’s fast bowling department will be led by William ORourke, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and Ben Sires.
Pakistan
squad : Mohammed Rizwan (c), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Salman Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammed Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi.
The journey of the Pakistan team has been filled with ups and downs than the previous few seasons. Pakistan’s team has been very weak in the last few years And that is why they are making a lot of changes in the team. If you see Pakistan’s World Cup 2023 team and now the Championship 2025 team, then more than half of the team is changed, 8 out of 15 players are changed.
Pakistan team’s players are changing continuously but their captain is also continuously changing. Pakistan’s team does not have a proper captain who will lead this side. It will be a big responsibility for Muhammad Rizwan to lead this team and make Pakistan win this tournament.
Pakistan team will have the biggest advantage in that they will play matches on their home ground And the pitches of Pakistan are also flat, so it is very easy for them to perform on these pitches. Pakistan will have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions Trophy. So will the defending champions be able to become champions this time too?
Group (B)
Group (B) includes South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and England. All the matches will be played in Pakistan. If you look at the group (B), the group is also a very exciting group. Every team is a good contender for winning the Champions Trophy. Group (B) is a really tough group it is very difficult to predict the top 2 let’s check the squad one by one.
Squads of Group (B)
South Africa
Squad : Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Marco jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Ryan Rickelton, Heinrich klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi.
The South African team looks very strong and Tamba Bavuma is doing very good captaincy for South Africa. It was under Bavuma’s captaincy that South Africa made its place in the ICC Test Championship final for the first time.
South Africa’s squad is a very balanced squad in which you have good spinners along with bowling, batting, and wicket-keeper. Ryan Rickelton replaces Quinton Decock after his retirement. There is not too much change in the South African squad.
South Africa has won only one ICC tournament that is the 1998 Champion Trophy apart from this South Africa has not been able to win any ICC tournaments. This is a great opportunity for this new South African team to win the Champions Trophy again.
Afghanistan
Squad : Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Rahmat Shah, Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammed Nabi, Rashid Khan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ikarm Alikhil, Fasalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmed Malik, AM Ghazanfar, Noor Ahmed, Naveed Zadran.
Afghanistan has impressed a lot with his cricket for the last few years and this team has the courage to defeat any team. If you look at Afghanistan’s squad, you will see many match winners, players like Rashid Khan Mohammed Nabi Fazal Farooqi, Gulbadan Naib, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
And if you look at Afghanistan’s squad, you will see that there is no place for a player like Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
Australia
Our preliminary squad for the 2025 @ICC #ChampionsTrophy is here 🔥 pic.twitter.com/LK8T2wZwDr
— Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) January 13, 2025
Squad : Pat Cummins (c), Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mathew Short, Steve Smith, Aaron Hardie, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, Joshi Inglis, Nathan Ellis, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.
There is a big update in the Australian squad out of 15 players 5 players have been ruled out.
- Pat Cummins (c)
- Mitchell Marsh
- Mitchell Starc
- Marcus Stoinis
- Josh Hazlewood
Australia has to announce five players for the squad and there is a big question who will lead this side?
Jack Fraser-McGruk, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Spencer johnson,g and Tanveer Sangha are included in the squad.
Steve Smith has been appointed as captain.
Australia has announced its 15 men squad which was led by Pat Cummins. As we all know Australia is a very strong team and Pat Cummins is a good leader too. Pat Cummins has won every ICC trophy except the Champions Trophy.
Australia has won the Champion Trophy twice but in 2009 and 2006. But after 2009, Australia has not been able to make its place even in the final of the Champions Trophy and this would be a good opportunity for Australia to win this trophy for the third time.
England
Squad : Jos buttler (c), Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingston, Jamie Smith, Philip Salt, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Gus atkinson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Mard Wood.
There are most number of changes in the England team than any other team in this Champions Trophy, after the 2023 ODI World Cup, and the main reason for this is England’s performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup because they managed to win only three matches out of 9 matches in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
If you notice in the England squad, you will see that players like Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, and Sam Curran have not been able to find a place in the team. Joe Root makes it to the team after the ODI World Cup 2023 for the first time. Ben Stokes has not been selected for the Champions Trophy.
England has made it to the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy twice (2004 and 2013) but they had to face defeat both times. Will Jos Buttler be successful in winning the Champion Trophy for England with this New England team? Let’s see.
