With one week to go until the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 gets underway, each nation has finalised their squad and named the players who will be in action in Pakistan and the UAE.

The Indian Cricket Team has picked KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant as their wicket-keeping options for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
