Pakistan Squad for Champions Trophy 2025

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 within the next couple of days, with key players like Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi expected to be part of the team, despite uncertainty surrounding injured player Saim Ayub's fitness.

The delay in the squad announcement is largely due to Saim Ayub's ongoing injury, which has made his inclusion uncertain. The young player is currently in London, and the PCB is waiting for an update on his fitness before finalizing the squad. Meanwhile, other key players like Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and skipper Muhammad Rizwan are likely to be part of the team.

The selection process has been finalized, and sources close to the PCB suggest that top players, including Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Naseem Shah, will be included in the squad. Other players like Aamir Jamal and Abbas Afridi are being considered for inclusion, while Abdullah Shafique and Muhammad Hasnain are unlikely to make the cut. The squad is set to begin preparations on February 4, ahead of the tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa, which starts on February 8 at Gaddafi Stadium.

The Champions Trophy 2025 will run from February 19 to March 9 across three venues in Pakistan and Dubai. The Pakistan team will depart for Karachi on February 9, with the final scheduled for February 14. The PCB's announcement of the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 is eagerly awaited, and fans are hoping for a strong team that can bring home the trophy.

With the squad announcement expected soon, cricket fans in Pakistan are eagerly waiting to see which players will make the cut for the Champions Trophy 2025. The team's performance in the tri-series and the Champions Trophy will be crucial in determining their chances of winning the trophy.
