New Selection Committee for team India to be formed in January 2023: Reports: The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is scheduled to meet on 30th December to formally begin the process of formation of a new selection committee for the Indian team. The three-member CAC panel led by Ashok Malhotra will have a physical meeting in the BCCI?s Mumbai office. The other two members of the committee are Sulakshana Naik and Jatin Paranjpe.



As per the reports, the CAC will have discussions with the top BCCI office-bearers before finalising the names. The committee will shortlist the potential candidates for the aforementioned roles and the interviews will be held after consulting with the top office bearers of the cricket board.



The CAC will shortlist the best possible candidates from the list of a large number of applications. It is believed that all the applications have been forwarded to the CAC for further processing.



As of now, the officials are keen on taking in-person interviews rather than virtually calling the shortlisted names. The same details will be conveyed to the BCCI, which will further coordinate the travel and interviews of the shortlisted candidates.



Notably, the Indian squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series has already been announced and there is no immediate need for rushing into things. Thus the formation of team India?s new selection committee may take some time.

If the reports are to be believed, the process may take a couple of week?s time. The final development is likely to be announced in the first week of January 2023.



Interestingly, Chetan Sharma, who is the outgoing chief selector, has reapplied for the post along with his colleague Harvinder Singh. Neither of the two aforementioned individuals has completed their tenure of four years.



Venkatesh Prasad, SS Das, Maninder Singh, S Sharath, Nayan Mongia, Mukund Parmar, Salil Ankola and Sameer Dighe are among many candidates who have applied for the position.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to start on February 19, with the best 8 teams in the world competing to become the champions. Pakistan hold the trophy, and they are the official host of the tournament. The initial stage will see two groups with four teams each, and the top two ranked teams from both groups will qualify for the semis.
India and Pakistan are placed in Group A along with New Zealand and Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Australia and England are in Group B with South Africa and Afghanistan. This edition is taking place after a wait of over 7 years, which is why the excitement for the coming event has peaked.
These are the 8 best teams in the world, which will set the standard of competition very high. All teams have the capabilities to win the tournament, which makes it hard to predict the winner. However, young Kiwi star Rachin Ravindra, who will feature in the competition for New Zealand, has made a bold prediction for the finalists of the competition.
<h2>Rachin Ravindra leaves out India and Pakistan as he makes predictions for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 finalists</h2>
Rachin Ravindra was the find of the 2023 ODI World Cup for New Zealand when he topped the run-scoring chart for his team. He showed great applications of playing long and impactful innings in the subcontinent. Since then, he has become a permanent member of the New Zealand team across all three formats. His form will be a key for the Black Caps in the coming event.
New Zealand will start their campaign with a game against Pakistan in the tournament's opener on February 19 at National Stadium in Karachi. Meanwhile, in a recent conversation on the ICC, Rachin revealed his excitement to represent New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. When asked about the probably finalists, he picked New Zealand and Australia.
Rachin said, "It’s always very hard to predict (finalists) that because you always want to say New Zealand because you’re involved. So hopefully we’re there. It’s pretty hard to count out people like Australia. They’ve shown how strong they are in all formats. Current holders of the ODI World Cup too. So hopefully it’ll be a Trans-Tasman derby."
Notably, India are the No. 1 ranked ODI team and played in the final of the Champions Trophy 2017, while Pakistan are the current champion. These two teams will have an edge of conditions.

India's poor show in the last few months have drawn a lot of criticism from all over the world. That is why the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also decided to take some hard steps going forward. India were blown away by New Zealand at home 0-3, which is the first time that Team India faced a series clean sweep at home in a Test series.
After that, they also lost the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. The hosts slammed Rohit Sharma and his men 1-3 and won the BGT trophy after a wait of ten years. As a result, India also missed the chance to make it to the final of the World Test Championship.
As a result, the BCCI is all set to punish the team and players for the nonperformance. In the review meeting held in Mumbai on Saturday, the Indian board has taken some hard steps. Some reports suggest that the players might not be allowed to take their families on the tours.
<h2>BCCI to restrict players taking their families with them on the tours - Reports</h2>
Indian captain Rohit Sharma, along with head of selection committee Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir, were available in the review meeting in Mumbai. There were major topics discussed in the meeting on India's future captaincy, recent performances, and ICC Champions Trophy squads.
Meanwhile, some media reports also indicated that the BCCI is not happy with the performance, and they will take some hard steps forward. As reported by Dainik Jagran, the BCCI might bring back the former rule where players were not allowed to take their wives or girlfriends on the tours. This rule was dumped during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Indian board believes it accompanying the family on tours affects the performances. The rule indicates that if the tour is of 45 days or more, then a player can stay with family for 14 days. Meanwhile, if the tour is shorter, then the rule is applicable for seven days. The rule also implies that all players will have to travel with the team, not alone.
A report from Indian Express also suggests that the BCCI might apply the rule of pay cut. That will be applicable on the basis of the player's performance. The report quotes, "It was suggested that players should be held accountable, and if their performances are not up to the mark, they should face variable pay reductions."

Rohit Sharma in Ranji Trophy: Team India captain Rohit Sharma is set to join Mumbai's Ranji Trophy training sessions, sparking widespread speculation about his potential return to the prestigious domestic tournament. 
The 37-year-old opener, who last played in the Ranji Trophy in 2015, is expected to train with the squad starting Tuesday, January 14, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). Mumbai’s next match, scheduled for January 23 against Jammu &amp; Kashmir, could mark Rohit’s comeback after a decade.
Rohit’s potential participation in the Ranji Trophy could serve as an opportunity to regain his rhythm and confidence ahead of upcoming international assignments. The news has sent excitement rippling through cricketing circles, with many fans eager to see the veteran batter donning Mumbai’s colors once again. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6785c85b76ca9.jpg" alt="">
A Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) source confirmed, “Rohit will join the team’s practice sessions this week alongside Ajinkya Rahane, Shardul Thakur, and Shreyas Iyer. While he hasn’t confirmed if he will play the match against J&amp;K, his appearance at training is a positive sign.”
Rohit’s decision to return to domestic cricket aligns with the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) renewed push for national players to participate in domestic tournaments actively. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has been vocal about the importance of players staying connected with red-ball cricket at the domestic level, emphasizing it as a pathway to form and consistency.
The Indian skipper’s form has been under scrutiny following a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia. He managed just 31 runs across five innings, with a highest score of 10. This poor run of form led to his exclusion from the final Test in Sydney, which India eventually lost, capping off a 3-1 series defeat. 
Mumbai’s Ranji team, meanwhile, has been in strong form this season. They currently sit third in Group A, with three wins, one draw, and a single loss from five matches. Led by experienced campaigners like Rahane and featuring young talents eager to make their mark, the team has its eyes set on the knockout stages. Rohit’s inclusion, even for a match or two, would undoubtedly provide a boost both on and off the field.
The buzz surrounding Rohit’s potential Ranji Trophy return has also reignited conversations about other senior players featuring in domestic cricket. 
While Rohit has taken the first step by joining training sessions, fans are curious whether stalwarts like Virat Kohli will follow suit. Kohli’s last appearance in the Ranji Trophy was in 2012, and his return to domestic cricket would further highlight the importance of nurturing red-ball cricket in India.
As speculation continues to swirl, one thing is clear: Rohit Sharma’s presence in the Ranji Trophy, even in training, is a win for Indian cricket. Whether or not he plays on January 23, his involvement underscores the value of domestic cricket as a foundation for both personal and national success.

Rohit Sharma is set to train with Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad, fueling speculation about his return to domestic cricket after nearly a decade.

Indian Cricket Team are mulling over the fitness of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fitness reports of both players have been a massive concern for the BCCI as they look to name the team for the tournament. 
Jasprit Bumrah is uncertain to be in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because of the back injury that he faced in the last match against Australia, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. He has experienced back swelling and has been advised to rest. 
On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav faced a groin injury during the home Test series against New Zealand. However, after that, he underwent surgery for the same in Germany and has been in the recovery process at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. 
There were reports that India has delayed the squad announcement for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 because of this thing only as they are awaiting the fitness report of players. It was also learned that the BCCI will be naming the team on 19th January for the tournament. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah advised rest before going to NCA; Kuldeep Yadav to be declared fit by 25th January</h2>
With no clarity over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, a report in RevSportz has provided a huge update. It is learned that the fast bowler has been advised to take the rest first, and after that, he will be heading to NCA. While the wrist spinner is set to be declared fit by 25th January. 
Earlier, there were reports which suggested that Jasprit Bumrah's injury wasn't that serious. The fast bowler will be named in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 but won't be playing the league games. He is expected to be fit by the first week of March and will be playing the knockout games. 
The same report also suggested that Kuldeep Yadav will be picked in the England ODIs. This is because BCCI wants the wrist spinner to be in rhythm. It was learned that if he wasn't deemed fit then there are chances that Varun Chakravarthy might be named in the team.
Kuldeep and Bumrah have been an integral part of the team in the ODIs. They played a massive role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would be hoping to replicate the same in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Former Indian cricketers in Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan named their Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. What caught the attention of many was that they didn't name Axar Patel and instead went in with Nitish Kumar Reddy as the all-rounder in the team. 
Both Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan backed Rohit Sharma to captain the Indian team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He will be opening the innings for the team, according to experts, while they pick Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill as two other openers. 
The middle-order batters picked by Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. The trio were the backbone of the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and the main reason why India reached the final. 
While all the talks have been about who will be keeper for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan picked both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. The latter was picked because of the form that he has shown in the T20Is. 
Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy made three all-rounders in the team picked by Gavaskar and Pathan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Axar Patel didn't make the cut, and it was a surprise as of late has been the best performer for the team in the white-ball format. 
According to them, along with Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav will be the second spinner in the team. Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be forming the pace department for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
