The Indian cricket team is busy preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan with captain Rohit Sharma and Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Keeping the ICC Champions Trophy in mind, Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir is giving opportunities to many young players.
After Rohit Sharma won the T20 World Cup, Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah had announced that Team India will participate in the ICC Champions Trophy along with senior players and along with this Jay Shah had said that Rohit Sharma will remain the captain of Team India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and ICC World Test Championship as well.
Along with this, he had hinted about senior players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja being in the team. In such a situation, the BCCI selectors will give preference to senior players in the ICC Champions Trophy and prepare a mixed team. In such a situation, Gambhir is giving a lot of opportunities to the youth along with the young players.
This time the ICC Champions Trophy will be organized under the hosting of Pakistan. In such a situation, doubt remains on whether the Indian cricket team will go to Pakistan to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy. India has not played cricket matches in Pakistan for a long time.
And in such a situation, it is being speculated that the team will not go to play cricket in Pakistan this time too. However, keeping in mind the safety of the Indian players, the Government of India can also refuse BCCI to send Team India players to Pakistan.
