This decision has created a lot of stirs in the cricket world and has disappointed the fans of these players. Let us know about some big players who have not got a place in the Indian team this time.
Sanju Samson
Team India's star wicketkeeper Sanju Samson has once again faced failure. The 30-year-old player, who was out of the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024, has not got a chance in the Champions Trophy 2025 as well, which is very surprising.
Nitish Kumar Reddy
Team India's emerging young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has also been ignored for the upcoming tournament. After his excellent performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, it was expected that he could get a chance in the 15-member team. But he has been disappointed here.
Varun Chakraborty
Varun Chakraborty, who is bowling well in domestic cricket, has also been ignored for the Champions Trophy 2025. In his place, the team has expressed confidence in Kuldeep Yadav as the main spinner.
Suryakumar Yadav
Current T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who performed well for the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024, has also not got a chance for the Champions Trophy 2025. However, this is not surprising. The Champions Trophy is going to be played in ODI format. Where his performance is not special.
Mohammed Siraj
Team India's promising fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has also not got a chance in the Champions Trophy 2025. He was seen struggling a lot in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy. Perhaps this is the reason why he has not got a place in the Indian fleet. Shami has returned to the pace trio. The other two bowlers are Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.
