Champions Trophy 2025: Bumrah's return confirmed, Samson to be out
India Champions Trophy 2025 Squad: According to a report by India Today, star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is almost certain to be selected in the 15-member Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. There has been a lot of discussion on his availability in recent days after the 31-year-old fast bowler got injured in the Sydney Test. But the report that is coming now is quite comforting.
However, his selection in the team will be based on his fitness. The selectors want Bumrah to play at least one competitive match before the Champions Trophy. So that his fitness can be assessed and a final decision can be taken on his name. Not only this, the report also states that it is very difficult for Sanju Samson and in-form batsman Karun Nair to make a place in the team.
At present, Karun Nair's bat is spitting fire in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. You can guess his excellent batting from the fact that he has scored 752 runs in eight matches. After which there is a lot of discussion on his name.
However, despite this, the selectors have a different opinion about his name. The report claims, 'The selectors feel that calling Nair back before a big tournament is not a wise decision. He last participated in the Indian team in 2017.'
At the same time, there are reports about Samson that he has been included in the team for the T20 matches against England. But he may not get a chance for the Champions Trophy and the ODI series against England.
According to the report, he will not be selected in the team for two series. A big reason behind this decision of the selectors is that he did not participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The report states that despite the BCCI motivating the national team players to play in domestic competitions, he remained missing from domestic cricket. Due to which the selectors are not very happy with him.
