Varun Chakaravarthy named in India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad; Yashasvi Jaiswal misses out
Indian mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been named in India’s final 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He replaces batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was initially included in the provisional squad.
Varun recently made his ODI debut against England in the second match of the ongoing series. This opportunity came on the back of his strong performances in the preceding T20I series, where he claimed 14 wickets.
On his ODI debut, Varun picked up the wicket of English opener Phil Salt and returned figures of one for 54 in 10 overs.
The 33-year-old also had an impressive Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 campaign, taking 18 wickets for Tamil Nadu at an outstanding average of 12.16.
The eight-nation tournament will begin on February 19 in Karachi, with host Pakistan facing New Zealand in the opening match.
