Champions Trophy Squad Announcement Might Be Delayed, With Shami's Return and Arshdeep's Possibility

In a possible twist to the recent developments regarding Team India's squad updates for the upcoming Champions Trophy and England series, there are indications that the announcement of the 50-over team might be delayed.

According to sources close to the board, it appears that Mohammed Shami is set to make his return in the One-Day International (ODI) format against England, a development that has been widely speculated in recent times. The all-rounder Arshdeep Singh's place in the ODI squad is also likely to be confirmed soon.

However, there is some uncertainty surrounding the announcement of the Champions Trophy squad. Rumor mills suggest that it might not happen until later than expected, which would raise concerns for Team India's preparation ahead of their big-ticket tournament.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced plans to release a statement soon regarding the squads for both formats – the limited-overs format and the longest format.

"It is likely that T20I squad announcement would happen first, followed by ODI," said a BCCI source. "There might be some last-minute changes too."

When reached for comment, an official spokesperson of Team India confirmed that all updates regarding their squads would be shared soon on our social media accounts and the BCCI website.

For now, with both Shami's possible return and Arshdeep's likely inclusion in the ODI squad, the big question remains - when will we get to see the official announcement of Team India's Champions Trophy squad? Stay glued to Alayaran.com for all updates.
