India announced a 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, with Arshdeep Singh replacing Mohammed Siraj in the pace attack. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami complete the bowling trio. Rohit Sharma will captain the team, with Shubman Gill as vice-captain. Rohit explained Arshdeep’s selection, citing his left-arm variety and skill in death overs. Siraj missed out due to reduced effectiveness without the new ball. Shami returns after recovering from surgery, while Bumrah’s fitness remains under watch. The squad includes young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, picked for his recent performances. India aims for balance across all departments in the tournament.
