The Indian team is preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with selectors finalizing the squad on January 19. Reports suggest Sanju Samson may miss the final cut.
Samson’s absence from the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 hurt his chances despite his T20 World Cup win and a century in his last ODI. The team favors KL Rahul as a batter and Rishabh Pant as the main wicketkeeper.
Dhruv Jurel, Ishan Kishan, and Samson compete for the backup wicketkeeper spot, with Jurel leading. Samson, with three T20 centuries in 2024, is viewed as a T20 specialist.
Selectors aim to build a balanced Indian squad for the Champions Trophy, prioritizing consistency and adaptability. Though Samson will play a key role in the T20I series against England, his chances for the Champions Trophy remain slim.
The Indian team’s Champions Trophy strategy focuses on nurturing future stars while leveraging experienced players to ensure success.
