KL Rahul and Sanju Samson are reportedly out of contention for India's Champions Trophy squad. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to prefer Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as keepers. Samson's absence from the Vijay Hazare Trophy camp led to his exclusion from Kerala's squad, further diminishing his chances. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan, despite his ODI achievements, faces uncertainty due to limited domestic participation. Jurel, gaining attention with strong performances, is now positioned as Pant's understudy. Samson remains a key T20 player but is unlikely to feature in the Champions Trophy squad.
