The senior men’s national selection committee announced the complete squads for the upcoming home ODI series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 

England are ready to tour India for a five-match T20I series and a three-match ODI series before both teams will travel for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. While Pakistan will host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India will play all their matches in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The home ODI series will begin on February 6, while the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will begin on February 19 and India will start on February 20 with the Group A match against Bangladesh.

Harshit Rana may be available only for the England ODI series if Bumrah remains unfit

While the Indian squads are the same for both the England ODI series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, only Harshit Rana is a difference who will only be present in the home ODI series against England, if Jasprit Bumrah remains unfit. The Test vice-captain is doubtful at least for the first two matches of the ODI series, while he is likely to be fit before the beginning of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Nagpur, Cuttack, and Ahmedabad will host the three ODIs against England on February 6, 9, and 12, respectively.

India are ready for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

The two-time ICC Champions Trophy winners (including the joint winner in the 2002 edition along with Sri Lanka), India will start the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 journey with the Group A match against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai. India will play all their matches in Dubai, while Pakistan and New Zealand will challenge them on February 23 and March 2, respectively. 

If India qualify for the Semi-finals after finishing in the top two of the Group A points table, they will play the Semi-final on March 4. While Lahore is ready to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final on March 9, Dubai will host it if India advance to the Final. 

Apart from finishing as the joint-winners with the hosts Sri Lanka in the 2002 edition, India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 after beating the hosts England in the Final. India have also played two more Finals in the ICC Champions Trophy history, where they lost against New Zealand in the 2000 edition and Pakistan in the last edition in 2017.
