The BCCI has requested an extension from the ICC to announce India’s provisional Champions Trophy squad, delaying the original January 12 deadline. Reports suggest the squad will now be revealed on January 19, one month before the tournament begins in Pakistan. The delay is attributed to ongoing deliberations after India’s performance in Australia and ahead of the England series, which could shape the final squad. The provisional squad will feature 15 members and 3 reserves as per ICC rules. A review meeting with captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir will finalize the team for both events.
