The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are supposed to announce India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 on January 18 followed by a press conference that was supposed to start at 12 PM IST but the cricket board has delayed the announcement as the selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma are currently involved in a selection meeting from more than 2 hours at BCCI office in Mumbai.
As per our sources from the BCCI office Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar are currently doing a selection meeting and they will announce the squad after that.
The followers of Indian Cricket did not seem happy with this gesture from the BCCI they took their 'X' formerly known as twitter to react on the same issue.
