Shreyas Iyer Front-runner for Selection in India Squad For Champions Trophy

by kyle January 9, 2025

1004

The Indian selecting committee is all set to announce India's squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With less than 50 days remaining for the prestigious ICC trophy, returning after 8 years, the squad will be announced soon. Shreyas Iyer, a key middle-order batsman of India, is a strong contender for India’s Champions Trophy squad.

Shreyas Iyer, India's prominent middle-order batter, will likely be included in India's Champions Trophy squad. Iyer, who batted at number 4 for India for a long time, will likely make a comeback for the Champions Trophy. Along with Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh are strong contenders for the India squad in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Now, Champions Trophy Mode

After losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy, India is shifting its focus to cricket to start preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The deadline to inform the ICC about the squad is January 12, so India will likely announce the squad by January 11. A selection committee meeting to decide the squad will likely happen on January 11.

Ind vs Eng: Preparation for Champions Trophy

According to the sources, all the players selected for the Champions Trophy squad will play the ODI series against England except Jasprit Bumrah, who has been given the rest after his extra hard work in the Border Gavaskar trophy against Australia.

Rohit Sharma: The Captain

Rohit Sharma will captain India in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 without any doubts. After his poor performance against Australia, a specific section raised concerns about his future as India's captain. However, the BCCI has cleared that he will lead the team.

Shreyas Iyer: Career and Champions Trophy Prospect

Shreyas Iyer is coming with a phenomenal domestic form with 312 runs in just 225 balls at a strike rate of 138.66, including his 14th last century in the Vijay Hazare trophy.

In the last ICC tournament, the Cricket World Cup 2023, Shreyas Iyer scored 526 runs, becoming one of India's top scorers. Given his current form and previous record in ICC tournaments, he is a strong contender for India's squad in the Champions Trophy.
