London: England has revealed its 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series against India, with wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler set to lead the side. The England Cricket Board (ECB) made the announcement on Sunday, confirming that the same squad will travel to India for three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in February 2025, ahead of the much-anticipated eight-team tournament.
The squad includes key players like Jofra Archer, Harry Brook, Joe Root, and Adil Rashid, with Buttler retaining the captaincy. However, all-rounder Ben Stokes was not included in the squad as he is still being assessed for a left hamstring injury sustained during England’s third Test against New Zealand earlier this month. The ECB clarified that Stokes continues to undergo evaluations before his return to the field.
Here’s the full 15-man squad for England’s India tour and the Champions Trophy 2025:
- Jos Buttler (C)

- Harry Brook
- Brydon Carse
