ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Squads, All Teams Players List
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squads showcase a mix of experience and young talent as teams gear up for the high-stakes tournament. Each nation has carefully selected its players, balancing proven performers with fresh faces to create formidable lineups.
The ICC has required the eight participating nations to announce their preliminary 15-man squads at least five weeks before the tournament’s start on February 19. However, teams are allowed to make adjustments to their squads up to one week before the opening match. Any changes beyond that point will need approval from the ICC Event Technical Committee.

India has included Jasprit Bumrah in their 15-player squad after days of uncertainty about whether he would recover in time for the tournament. Bumrah had missed part of the Sydney Test earlier in January, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar mentioned that the team management will closely track his fitness.
Bumrah’s fitness for the Champions Trophy will be tested during the England ODIs. Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami is making his return to international cricket after recovering from a long-term injury. Shami will play in both the England T20 and ODI series, bringing valuable experience to India’s bowling attack.
“There’s no question about Shami’s quality. We’ve picked him for the T20s to help him get back into rhythm,” Agarkar said during the squad announcement.
Spinner Kuldeep Yadav is also back in the squad, while Test opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been included and might make his ODI debut.
