The 15-member squad will be captained by Rohit Sharma, with Shubman Gill serving as his vice-captain. Notably, Yashasvi Jaiswal has earned his maiden ODI call-up and is expected to serve as the reserve opener for the Champions Trophy.
The batting lineup features Virat Kohli at No. 3, while the middle order remains consistent with the 2023 ODI World Cup squad, including Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Allrounders Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel retain their places.
Rishabh Pant joins Rahul as the second wicketkeeper, getting the nod over Sanju Samson, who missed the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy. Washington Sundar adds depth as the fourth allrounder in a squad that comprises only four specialist bowlers.
