For cricket fans all over the world, the Champions Trophy is now in focus, as many developments have already happened before the tournament even takes off. We saw how India’s matches are now not going to take place in Pakistan, despite Pakistan being the host, as the Men in Blue will play their matches in Dubai. Speaking about the Champions Trophy, we will see games moving all over the stadiums in Pakistan, but as mentioned, India will play their games in Dubai. The first match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will take place at National Stadium in Karachi, where defending champions Pakistan will face New Zealand on February 19.
India will play their first game against Bangladesh in Dubai on February 20, 2025. But what about the squads? When will we see every single team announce their squad for this prestigious tournament? For now, only England has announced theirs, but what is the last date for teams to submit their squad lists for the Champions Trophy 2025?
Champions Trophy squad announcement last date
There is already a clear instruction from the ICC that all participating teams need to submit their provisional squad list by Sunday, January 12. So far, it is England who have announced their Champions Trophy squad, while fans are eagerly waiting for other teams to reveal their squads soon.
When will India announce squad for Champions Trophy?
Many eyes are waiting for the Men in Blue squad, not only for the Champions Trophy but also for the England white-ball series. India is set to play a lot of limited-overs games, from 5 T20Is to 3 ODIs, and then immediately following that, we will see India going for the CT 2025. We can expect the team to release the squad for the ODI series and Champions Trophy before January 12. It will be interesting to see who makes the cut.
