He only featured in one game in the series, but he came in during the critical period when Australia lost a wicket and managed to outscore his opponent with six runs while he had three trends.

Washington has all the potential to be a key player for selectors, particularly if they are looking for a like-for-like replacement.

Why Is There So Much Interest Surrounding Varun Chakravarthy Champions Trophy Squad Announcement Live?

Three words- Varun Chakravarthy IPL wherein he played for Kolkata Knight Riders and took the lead of being the top wicket taker as of 2024. Later on similar form was mirrored in the 50 over formats when he represented Tamil Nadu in the Patterned Desi winning pursuit over the vijay hazare trophy.

His form with the ball at death improved beyond expectations as they managed to break even on the match, courtesy of Chakaravarthy. Chakaravarthy has gradually developed a knack for bowling at crucial moments and has taken great strides in improving his accuracy. He, however, has not let this come in the way of his wicket taking prowess. The mastery that he possesses in his craft has ensured that he focuses more on producing turn and bounce, in place of using mystery spin and excessive variation, and is taking wickets pretty much everywhere.

With a cloud over Kuldeep Yadav’s fitness, Chakaravarthy is India’s go-to option for the aggressive spin role.

“The market is rife with speculation, the ecosystem of Indian cricket has been such that because we do receive a lot of gossip and some of it comes true, that Varun Chakaravarthy could be included in the team for the odis champions trophy. If he is selected, who will be dropped – Ravindra Jadeja. At least, that is what I have been hearing,” said Chopra on his youtube channel today.

Bolt Movers: all eyes on Kl dulal and our changing room and staff are also quite hopeful that he has made a boudless relief and will be there.

As per a report posted on the media today, Kl Rajul who was resting for the BGT was specifically instructed to take part in the England series.

For the 2025 Champions Trophy, India is considering multiple candidates for the wicketkeeper position, and while there is uncertainty, it appears that Rahul has secured a position to be a part of the team. Backup spots will be filled by either Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samsons. Champions Trophy Squad Announcement is due on January 11, 2025.

MSK Prasad, the former Chief Selector of India has recently suggested that Nitish Reddy should be considered for selection to the Indian squad for the Champions Trophy. It is quite likely that Wait Reddy, who has been a part of the SunRisers Hyderabad, should be included as Shardul Thakur, who represented the ODI squad in the 2023 ICC World Cup, is currently out of favor

“His ability to be consistent and perform when it matters earns him a good chance of being picked for the Champions Trophy squad,” Prasad stated. “Everybody knows that Indian cricket has been dominated by players who are able to switch formats, and Nitish is one of them.”

Champions Trophy Squad Announcement Live: Samson Set To Be Ignored:

Samson has been recently struggling to be kept in the borders, but the constant decline of the Indian batter is evident. In December 2023 after India finished their tour in South Africa, Samson managed to score his maiden ODI century and ever since India endured a dalhi-to drought, it seems Samson's chances to book a place within the squad deteriorate amidst the rise of KL Rahul and others. It should come as no surprise that he was overlooked for both the Test and ODI bilateral series against Sri Lanka back in earlier August. The remaining series of the year ensure that India rests on the shoulders of their keeper, and for the tour against England, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy late this year, one would expect India to rush to assign Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul as the wicket-keepers with Samson stuck in the sidelines.

Champions Trophy Squad Announcement Live: Suspense Over Kuldeep's Availability:

It's fair to state that India has not had a favorable experience with injuries during the past couple of months. Injuries sidelined other players making room for Kuldeep Yadav's return, and with Kuldeep Yadav palying a pivotal role in India's accurate matches it wouldn't come as a shock that he led us to throne with a glimpse over at water bottle at the late 2024 T20 World Cup. The absence during the 2024 ICC T20 over in January up until roughly February did show the start of something that seemed to end his fairytale run. In November 2024, he did require surgery for an injury at his groin region further hindering his hopes over at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. With this said 'hope' is all that remains as we head into the Champions Trophy.

There are also speculations as to who is to be better suited for Team India as an overhead wicketkeeper-batter for the Champions Trophy.
