Three senior players out!
On one side, there are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who despite their poor form, seem almost certain to get a place in Team India. According to news agency PTI, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul may probably be kept out of the Champions Trophy squad. Talking about Rahul, he was included in the team as the first choice wicketkeeper in the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup, but Rishabh Pant is being seen as the number-1 wicketkeeper for the Champions Trophy. Rahul’s selection is possible as a back-up wicketkeeper, but head coach Gautam Gambhir may also give preference to Sanju Samson as a back-up wicketkeeper.
On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja’s place also seems to be in danger, he is getting direct competition from Akshar Patel. According to PTI report, the selectors believe that Axar Patel has been more effective in white ball cricket than Jadeja. As far as the selection of Mohammed Shami is concerned, his fitness is still under doubt. Shami recently bowled well for Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but the selectors are still not sure about his fitness.
