India Squad For ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bumrah Out; Harshit Rana In — Check Final List Of 15 Players

In a major blow to India's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign, ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tournament due to a lower back injury.

Bumrah, who has already undergone a lower back surgery in 2022, sustained another stress-related injury while bowling in the final Test against Australia at Sydney, where he pulled out after sending down 10 overs in the first innings.

"Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy due to a lower back injury. The Men’s Selection Committee has named Harshit Rana as Bumrah’s replacement," the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a late night release on Tuesday.

The senior men's team selection committee has named Harshit Rana as Bumrah's replacement for the mega event starting February 19 in Pakistan. India will open their campaign against Bangladesh in Dubai on February 20.

Harshit Rana made his ODI debut against England last week and picked up three wickets. In November last year, the 23-year-old made his international debut during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rana has so far featured in two Tests, as many ODIs and one T20I match.

Team India have also named Varun Chakaravarthy in the squad. The spinner will replace Yashasvi Jaiswal who was initially named in the provisional squad.

Jaiswal is among the non-travelling reserves along with Shivam Dube (like-for-like for Hardik Pandya) and Mohammed Siraj (like-for-like for Mohammed Shami).

Chakaravarthy, who has been very successful in T20Is, made his ODI debut in Cuttack based on his T20 form and the KKR bowler is a personal favourite of head coach Gambhir.

After Bangladesh, the Rohit Sharma-led side will face arch-rivals Pakistan on Feb. 23. In their final Group A fixture, India will be up against New Zealand on Mar. 2.

India will play all their matches of the tournament in Dubai under a hybrid model agreement.

Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohd. Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Non-Travelling substitutes: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Shivam Dube. The three players will travel to Dubai as and when required.
