As per Karthik, Rohit Sharma will open with Shubman Gill. So then what happens to Yashasvi Jaiswal, does he miss out? Karthik reckoned Jaiswal would be part of the squad as the reserve opener.  "Why? Rohit and Shubman are a very good combination. Yes, Jaiswal has a great opportunity to be the backup opener and will get his opportunity soon if Shubman doesn't go as well as expected. And India has a very solid middle order as well," Karthik told Cricbuzz. Karthik also reckoned that with not many games left for the marquee event, the Indian side will not experiment much. "In the lead-up to the Champions Trophy, they are just going to be playing three more games. And I am pretty confident it's going to be Rohit and Shubman opening for the Champions Trophy," he added. PCB in Turmoil The Pakistan Cricket Board is currently in a huge turmoil. The PCB is under a lot of scrutiny regarding the upcoming CT 2025 and there is no clarity about India's participation in the upcoming ICC tournament. Pakistan were also the hosts of the 2023 edition of the Asia Cup, but it was played in the 'hybrid' model in order to host India. The 'Men in Blue' played all their Asia Cup 2023 matches in Sri Lanka.  Jay Shah Strong Contender To Become ICC President Jay Shah has been doing some impeccable work at the BCCI. Under his and BCCI President Roger Binny's supervision, the Indian cricket team won the ICC men's T20 World Cup for the second time since the inaugural World T20 played in 2007. Current ICC chairman Greg Barclay on Tuesday opted out of a third term following the end of his tenure on November 30, fuelling speculations on BCCI secretary Jay Shah's future at the sport's governing body.
