Jay Shah: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played under the hosting of Pakistan and in this regard, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Jay Shah has announced the captain of Team India for this tournament and has told which player is going to captain.

Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy is to be played from 19 February to 9 March and now the discussion about it has already started and in such a situation, before the start of the tournament, Shah has announced the captain of the Indian team.

Rohit Sharma was made the captain

The BCCI secretary has confirmed that Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining the team in the Champions Trophy 2025.

While talking to news agency ANI, Shah said that “This was our third final in the last one year. First we lost the final of WTC 2023 and then in World Cup 2023 we won hearts but could not win the cup. I had said in Rajkot that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma we will hoist the flag in Barbados in 2024 and our captain did exactly that. Now we will also win the Champions Trophy and WTC 2025 under the captaincy of Rohit.”

Indian team will tour Pakistan

Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played under the hosting of Pakistan and whether India will tour Pakistan for this or not is the biggest question at the moment. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what decision the Indian government takes regarding this.

If we look at the political situation of both the countries, then at present it is very unlikely that India will tour Pakistan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see where Team India is going to play in this tournament because it is clear from Jai Shah's statement that India will definitely participate in this tournament.

Champions Trophy will be played on hybrid model

Pakistan was also supposed to host Asia Cup 2023 and at that time India had refused to go there. After this, this tournament was played on a hybrid model and Team India played all its matches in Sri Lanka.

In such a situation, if India refuses to go there, then this tournament can be played on the hybrid model and India can play its matches in UAE.
