With the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 approaching, Team India is facing set backs on a daily basis. As a result, the Men in Blue are going to miss some key players for the mega event.
Team India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is almost certain to miss the tournament due to fitness concerns. In another setback, superstar batter Virat Kohli has suffered an injury before the start of the ODI series against England. Under the circumstance, it is uncertain whether Kohli will be included in the 15-member Indian squad for the tournament.
Bumrah was initially part of the India vs England 3rd ODI squad. The development had brought relief to Indian fans who hoped he would be fit by then. However, his absence from the final squad has raised concerns about his availability for the Champions Trophy. India does not want to overburden their premier speedster and the team management is most likely to rest him for the mega tournament.

Kohli has suffered knee injury before the ODI series against England. He was seen having strapping around his right knee. The development forced him to opt out of the match. This has also led to speculation that he could miss the upcoming Champions Trophy if the injury is serious.
Moreover, with mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy likely to be included in the squad, India now has four spinners at their disposal. Under the circumstance, the team management might opt to leave one out for the tournament. Spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could consider taking a rest and focusing on Test cricket.
