Not Shubman Gill, BCCI likely set to label BGT hero as Team India’s vice-captain for Champions trophy 2025

India will be hoping to make a comeback in the white-ball series against England after a dismal performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Champions Trophy will commence after the home series against England. Pakistan is going to host the highly-anticipated ICC event from February 19 to March 9.

All the matches of India are going to be held in Dubai, as it is decided as the neutral venue under the policy of hybrid model. Rohit Sharma will captain India in the Champions Trophy 2025. A few days after India won the 2024 T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma officially announced as the skipper for the ICC tournament.

Shubman Gill was expected to help Rohit Sharma in the Champions Trophy because he was the vice-captain. However, that is not going to occur. According to a report, the ODI leadership group for the upcoming tournament will likely change. India’s vice captain for the 2025 Champions Trophy is going to be Jasprit Bumrah.

Bumrah has been a member of the Test cricket leadership group since 2022, and made his debut as the captain in the one-off Test match against England. He has also captained in two Test matches of the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Now the BCCI is probably going to reveal the team for Champions Trophy and England series, where Bumrah looks like he will be missing majority of the England series.
