3 reasons why Yuzvendra Chahal is unlikely to be picked up for Champions Trophy 2025

Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the most prolific bowlers in the Indian cricket team. Nobody knows the reason why he vanished from the main team but his performance has always been top-notch. As a player, he has picked up wickets at regular intervals and has provided much-needed breakthroughs to the team. Since the Champions Trophy is around, there are talks about his inclusion in the team. However, there are several reasons why this isn’t possible.

Here are the three reasons why Yuzvendra Chahal is unlikely to be picked up for the Champions Trophy 2025:

1. Too many spin options

India has a lot of spinners the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarty, Axar Patel and many more. These are the players who have been with the team for a long time now in various tours. Chahal hasn’t played for India in a long time which might affect his selection for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Even though he’s a pretty good bowler, taking him to Abu Dhabi wouldn’t be an option.

2. Lack of interest shown by selectors

Well, there’s no reason as to why this happened but the selectors haven’t shown much interest in Chahal in recent times. He’s been excluded from the team without giving any proper reasoning. Hence, having him around for the ICC event is quite unlikely to happen.

3. Varun Chakravarty will have an upper edge

Varun Chakravarty will probably be considered above Chahal because he was selected in the T20I series against Bangladesh. His performance was impressive and he has been magnificent in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. So he will get the first preference above Chahal. The selectors will not keep a lot of spin options and would rather focus on all-rounders and pace bowlers.
