Much awaiting squad for the upcoming mega tournament, which is going to be held in Dubai and Pakistan, ICC Champions Trophy 2025, will be announced on Saturday, January 18, in Mumbai.

Only two Asian teams, India and Pakistan, have not announced squads for the mega tournament. The International Cricket Council (ICC) had set January 12 as the deadline for all eight participating nations to announce their final playing squad, but announcements in both teams remain due to several concerns, including fitness and injury issues.

The high-stakes tournament Champions Trophy is set to begin on February 19. Earlier, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla confirmed that a meeting will take place on January 18 to finalise the squad for the event.
