The cricketing world is buzzing as the ninth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy kicks off on February 19, 2025, in Pakistan and UAE. The tournament, dubbed the “Mini World Cup,” returns after an eight-year hiatus, with defending champions Pakistan set to face New Zealand in the opener at Karachi’s National Stadium. Amid the anticipation, former Indian off-spinner and 2013 Champions Trophy winner Ravichandran Ashwin has? made headlin??es with his bold predictions for the semi-finalists and team rankings.

Ravichandran Ashwin’s semifinal picks: A mix of logic and surprise

Group A: India and New Zealand to dominate

The tournament’s Group A features India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Ashwin has backed India and New Zealand to advance to the knockout stage, sidelining hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh. He rated both India and New Zealand at 85/100 for their squad strength and balance, citing India’s? familiarity with Dubai’s hybrid-model conditions as a critical advantage. However, he expressed concern over India’s reliance on toss outcomes in Dubai, where day-night conditions drastically alter gameplay.

New Zealand, despite missing veteran pacers Trent Boult and Tim Southee, earned praise for their experienced spin attack led by Mitchell Santner. Ashwin highlighted their adaptability on his You Tube channel content, stating, �?em>New Zealand is one of the challengers to India�?

Group B: Australia and England’s resilience

In Group B (Australia, England, Afghanistan, South Africa), Ashwin picked Australia and England as semi-finalists. Despite Australia’s injury woes�?strong>Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Marcus Stoinis are absent—he emphasized their knack for �?em>bringing their A-game�?in ICC events. Steven Smith’s leadership and batting firepower with Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell could offset bowling vulnerabilities.

England, ranked third at 81/100, earned Ashwin’s confidence due to their aggressive style, though he questioned their consistency on slower Pakistani pitches. Afghanistan, ranked fifth at 70/100, was dubbed a dark horse but deemed unlikely to surp??ass the semifinal barrier.

Team rankings: A stark reality check

Ashwin’s? rankings laid bare the perceived gaps in squad quality:

• Top Tier: India and New Zealand (85/100)
• Contenders: England (81), Australia (78)
• Underdogs: Afghanistan (70), South Africa (68), Pakistan (55), Bangladesh (40)

Pakistan’s low score (55/100) raised eyebrows, especially as defending champions. Ashwin pointed to inconsistent performances and a lack of balance, leaving them vu??lnerable despite home advantage. Bangladesh’s 40/100 reflected their struggles in high-pressure tournaments.

Jasprit Bumrah: India’s missing X-factor

Ashwin reserved special mention for Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, whic?h he believes cost India a h??igher rating.

�?em>I’ll give them 85. I would have given India a 90 had Bumrah been there because India is completely different with him in the mix. The only concern for India, in my view, is that all their games are in Dubai,�?he stated, emphasizing the pacer’s ability to disrupt opposition strategies. Bumrah’s replacement, Harshit Rana, faces immense pressure to fill the void.

The spinner also fla??gged India’s Dubai-centric schedule as a double-edged sword: while conditions mimic home advantage, losing tosses could force India to bat first on tricky daytime pitche??s.

�?em>Let’s say we lose all three tosses and are put into bat first because it’s chalk and cheese between day and night at this venue. So, if opponents bat under lights, this 85 might start dropping,�?Ashwin cautioned.

Australia’s champion DNA vs. Pakistan’s home turf

While Ashwin excluded Pakistan from his semifinal list, he acknowledged their historical prowess in ICC events. However, their recent form and squad depth fell short compared to Australia’s �?em>champion DNA.�?Australia’s ability to thr?ive under pressure, led by Smith’s tactical acumen, makes them perennial threats despite injuries??.

The 20?25 Champions Trophy promises drama, from India’s quest for redemption to New Zealand’s spin-driven challenge and Australia’s resilience. Ashwin’s predictions hinge on adaptability, lead??ership, and handling pressure—elements that could redefine rankings and reputations.

The Champions Trophy 2025 is right around the corner with teams gearing up to face each other and stake their claim on the coveted trophy. Before the coveted ICC tournament begins, almost all teams are suffering several injury concerns with several key players set to miss the tournament. The Indian team’s situation has not been any different in this regard. The team had to readjust and tweak its squad to balance the team dynamics due to numerous key players being unavailable. However, not everyone is happy with the kind of squad India has chosen for the much-anticipated ICC tournament. Amidst growing skepticism, Ravichandran Ashwin has now voiced his concern regarding the team sele??ction.

Ashwin raises concern over India’s selection strategy for the Champions Trophy

Ashwin raised concerns over the logic behind India‘s squad selection for the upcoming Champions Trophy, particularly the inclusion of five spinners at the expense of a key player like Yashasvi Jaiswal. India’s young batting sensation was initially part of the provisional squad but was later omitted to make way for mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy. He has now been relegated to the non-traveling substitutes list alongside Mohammed Siraj and Shivam Dube.

Speaking on his YouTube show ‘Ash ki Baat,’ Ashwin expressed his surprise at the decision, citing recent conditions in Dubai, which have not favoured spin as much. He referenced the ILT20 tournament as an example, questioning whether selecting so many spinners was the right call. Ashwin’s remarks highlight concerns about the balance of the squad and whether the selectors have misread the pitch conditions, potentially weakening India’s batting depth in a crucial tournament.

“What I don’t understand is the number of spinners we are taking to Dubai. Five spinners, and we have made Yashasvi Jaiswal sit out. Yeah, I understand taking three or four spinners for a tour. But five in Dubai? I don’t know. I think we are one spinner too many, if not two, I don’t think there is any doubt that Kuldeep Yadav will walk into the team. So how will you make space for Varun? Is he bowling well? Of course. Either you bring in Varun and Kuldeep as a duo, which I feel would be good. But my question is, in Dubai, are you expecting the ball to turn? In the recently held ILT20, we saw that the ball was not turning that much in Dubai and teams were chasing 180-run totals with ease. I feel a bit uncomfortable with this team,” Ashwin remarked.

Ashwin shocked at Yashasvi Jaiswal’s exclusion

Ashwin further voiced his bewilderment over the omission of young opener Jaiswal, implying that the decision has left him perplexed. Jaiswal was widely expected to be a key member of the Champions Tr??ophy squad. His exclusion from the final squad has raised eyebrows, especially given his promising form and potential to provide solidity at the top of the order.

“I am honestly glad that I am not in a position of explaining things to Yashasvi Jaiswal. If I was the coach or captain, what would I even tell him? I raise this question many times – what message are you sending to a player? Yashasvi was bringing water for the players. I was thinking, what would be going on in his mind? He would have been happy that he would be in the Champions Trophy team. And now suddenly he is not in the team. It’s the same for anybody who misses out,” the former Indian off-spinner concluded.

India are set to play their group stage fixtures of the Champions Trophy with their opening encounter against Bangladesh, followed by a clash against arch-rivals Pakistan and their last match against New Zealand.

Ravichandran Ashwin names two contenders for the title

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has weighed in on the potential favorites for the Champions Trophy 2025. Sp??eaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin highlighted two teams he believes are the strongest contenders.

Backing India as the top favorite,?? Ashwin pointed out their familiarity with UAE conditions, which could play a crucial role in their campaign.

“India will have the advantage of playing on a home-like ground in Dubai. Teams facing India will feel that they are playing in Indian conditions. This is definitely a problem for other teams,” said Ashwin.

The Chennai-born Indian spin legend also picked? New Zealand as a strong challeng?er despite their recent changes in the bowling lineup.

“After India, New Zealand is one of the strongest teams in the Champions Trophy. Players like Saurabh and Bolt are not playing so there is a question mark on their bowling attack. New Zealand has an experienced spin attack with Michael Bracewell and Glenn Phillips. It remains to be seen how captain Mitchell Santner uses his resources. New Zealand is definitely a strong team. They are one of the challengers to India,” added Ashwin.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE, with all of India’s matches scheduled to be held in Dubai. As one of the strongest teams in white-ball cricket, India will enter the tournament with high expectations. The squad, which has already been announced, features a balanced mix of experienced players and young talents. However, discussions are still ongoing about possible late inclusions, with mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy emerging as?? a strong contender following his stellar T20I performances.

Ravichandran Ashwin on how Varun Chakravarthy can feature in India’s squad

Though Varun was not included in India’s squad for the Champions Trophy, his recent performances have ignited discussions about whether he deserves a late call-up. The mystery spinner was in sensational form during the five-match T20I series against England, where he bagged 14 wickets in five games, earning the Player of the Series award. His impact was also felt in the four-match T20I series against South Africa in November 2024, where he bagged 12 wickets and played a crucial role in India’s success.

One of India’s finest spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from international cricket, backed Varun’s chances of making it to the Champions Trophy squad. He also explained that India have named a provisional squad?, which means they can still make changes, allowing Varun to be picked in the final squad.

“We are all talking about whether he should have been there (Champions Trophy squad). I am thinking there is a chance he might be there. I have a feeling he might make it. There is a chance because all teams have named only a provisional squad. So, he might get picked,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

Challenge of accommodating Varun in the squad

While Ashwin believes Varun has a stron??g case for selection, he also pointed out the challenge of fitting him into the already well-balanced squad. India currently has four frontline spinners??, and adding another would require dropping a pacer, which might disrupt the team’s overall composition.

“But, if you look at the existing squad, if a seamer goes out and Varun comes in, it will be an added spinner (five). I don’t know who they would want to drop (if they think about getting Varun in). We will wait and see,” Ashwin added.

With the Champions Trophy still months away, there remains a slim possibility of last-minute changes to the squad. If India re-evaluates its bowling options based on condition??s in Dubai, Varun could still find himself in contention for a spot in the final 15.

India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has reiterated his desire for the team to play an aggressive brand of cricket in the upcoming ODI series against England. This aggressive approach, according to off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, will be spearheaded by captain Rohit Sharma, while Virat Kohli will play a c??rucial role in maintaining stabilit??y within the team.

The young Indian brigade registered an emphatic 4-1 victory in the recently-concluded T20I series against Jos Buttler’s England. So now, the Rohit-led experienced side will hope to regain form ahead of the ICC Champions Tr??ophy 2025 as they lost all the three ODIs played in Sri Lanka last year.

Ashwin confident of India’s aggressive brand of cricket

“It is important to realise Virat would be playing the role Hardik [Pandya] and Rinku [Singh] played in T20Is. Who will be the bridge between aggressive batting on top and finishing the batting in the latter end? Virat. Virat has to play to his strengths, and if he regains form, then there is nothing like it for the Indian cricket team. He doesn’t have to change his game at all. Honestly, what is the hurry in ODIs? It is important to do what is right by the 50-over format,” R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

Ashwin shows faith in Rohit’s ability at the top

The Chennai-lad also emphasized that Rohit should continu??e his aggressive batting style, mirroring his succ??essful performances in the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup.

“Considering how Rohit played in the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup, I don’t think he would have an issue. The way Rohit has adapted to the changing times and led from the front, I don’t think he will take a step back from the template,” Ashwin added.

The upcoming ODI series against England will provide an ideal platfo?rm for the team to implement this aggressive approach and fine-tune their strategies ahead of the Champions Trophy.

India’s decision to introduce Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube during the fourth T20I against England in Pune has sparked a major debate in the cri??cketing world.

Controversy over Harshit Rana’s inclusion as a concussion substitute

The match saw Dube playing a pivotal role, smashing 53 off 34 balls, as India set a competitive total of 181/9. However, in the final over of India’s innings, Dube was struck on the helmet by a Craig Overton bouncer, forcing him to leave the field under concussion protocols. In a move that has since drawn heavy scrutiny, India replaced him with Harshit Rana, a medi??um-fast bowler, instead of a like-for-like all-rounder.

Rana made an instant impact, delivering a match-winning 3 for 33 on his T20I debut. His crucial breakthroughs – including Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell and Craig Overton – helped India bowl England out for 166, securing a 15-run victory. With this win, India took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series ahead of the final match in Mumbai. England captain Jos Buttler did not hold back  in questioning India’s move, openly stating that Rana was not a like-for-like replacement for Dube.

Ravichandran Ashwin’s stance on India’s decision

Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin has now voiced his strong disapproval of the decision, criticizing both the match officials and the Indian team’s handling of the situation. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin did not mince his words, comparing the decision to the IPL’s Im??pact Player rule rather than an international cricket regulation.

“The game is done. India capture yet another series at home. T20I has been a real juggernaut of a win. What was this game? It was like a replica of the IPL. Supersub was there, and the game was played with an impact player,” Ashwin remarked, expressing his disbelief over the sit?uat??ion.

He further referenced the 2020 concussion substitution incident in Canberra, where Yuzvendra Chahal replaced Ravindra Jadeja after the latter suffered a concussion. Ashwin pointed out that at least in that case, a spinner was replaced b??y another spinner, making it a reasonable decision. In contrast, bringing in a pacer for a batting all-rounder like Dube seem??ed completely unjustified.

“The entire discussion is about how Harshit Rana came in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. Did we forget that it was an international match and play an IPL match? I can understand. It has happened in the past. Ravindra Jadeja got concussed in Canberra, and Yuzvendra Chahal came in as a substitute. I don’t understand this. At least previously, Chahal came in for Jadeja, a spinner for a spinner,” the 38-year-old stated.

Ashwin’s perspective on Ramandeep Singh as a possible replacement 

Ashwin strongly criticized the match officials, arguing that Ramandeep Singh, a batting all-rounder, was a perfect like-for-like replacement for ?Dube, yet was overlooked. Ashwin further emphasized that this decision set a dangerous precedent, as it could allow teams to exploit the concussion rul?e in future matches.

“Here, Harshit came in for Shivam Dube. There is no role of the Indian or England team. If there is no one in the squad, then you can say that Harshit Rana can bat a bit and Shivam Dube can bowl a bit. That’s why we brought him in. Like-for-like replacement Ramandeep Singh was sitting outside. I don’t understand. This is a case of pure cricketing miscalculation, either on the part of the umpires or the part of the match referee. Ramandeep Singh was there, like-for-like for Shivam Dube. But not him. Harshit Rana was chosen as the concussion substitute. I think people in charge should look into this,” Ashwin concluded.

No matter which side you are on, a lethal spin ball is equally appreciated by the cricketing world as a stunning swing delivery or a towering six. Adil Rashid’s stunner against Tilak Varma in Rajkot was one such delivery which took fans and analysts in shock. Amidst praises from everyone, the masterpiece is now appreciated by none other than Ravichandran Ashwin– the spin wizard.

Ravichandran Ashwin amazed by Adil Rashid’s beauty

Rashid bowled the sensational delivery on the last ball of the 8th over during India’s run chase of 172 runs. India’s promising young batter Tilak, was on the crease and appeared ready to play the big shot after steadily? to an individual score of 18 runs off 13 balls.

However, the 22-year-old could not lead India to another epic run chase?? as an outside off bowl took a breathtaking turn and cleared the middle-leg stump of the explosive Indian batter thus marking an end to his consecutive unbeatable run in previous 4 T20I matches. The dismissal proved detrimental to India’s hope of achieving the target.

The empathic delivery was later on praised by Ashwin who called it an ‘absolute seed’ and further appreciated the scrambled seam and side spin approach from the English spinner. This was Rashid’s only dismissal of the match and came at a crucial time for his team as the run flow took a ?further hit with Tilak�?�s absence on the pitch.

India stopped by a determined bowling effort from England

Scoring runs was getting difficult for the Indian team in Rajkot as a disciplined bowling display from England groped the Indian batters and led them to commit mistakes on the pitch. No Indian batter could withstand the fine line and length bowled by English bowlers. Apart from Hardik Pandya who scored 40 runs off 35 balls, the entire Indian batting ord?er succumbed and gave their wickets away cheaply. India’s run chase was wrapped up at 145/9 runs in 20 overs leading the way for an England victory by 26 runs in t??he match.

Jamie Overton was the star of the match for England with the bowl as he took 3 wickets for 24 runs in his 4 overs. Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse supported Overton and took 2 wickets r?espectively to pave the way for an England win i?n the match.

The ongoing England tour of India 2025 has seen England’s vice-captain Harry Brook face challenges in adapting to Indian spinners, especially Varun Chakravarthy. After being dismissed by Chakravarthy in both the first and second T20Is, Brook made a rather unusual claim about his first dismissal. The England batter blamed ‘fog’ for his failure to pick Chakravarthy’s delivery during the opening match at Eden Gardens. However, the former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has slammed Brook for making excuses.

Harry Brook struggles against Varun Chakravarthy

In the eighth over of the first T20I at Eden Gardens, Brook faced Chakravarthy, who had been brought in for his mystery spin. Chakravarthy delivered a googly around the off-stump, and Brook attempted to push it down the ground. However, his attempt failed ?as he managed only an inside edge that flicked his pads and eventually rolled back to hit the stumps. Brook was dismissed for 17 off 14 balls, with two fours and a six.

After the dismissal, Brook was quick to provide an excuse, claiming that the fog in Kolkata had made it difficult for him to pick u??p the ??delivery. “I was dismissed because of fog,�?Brook said, seemingly attributing his inability to read the ball to weather conditions.

The following match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai saw another poor outing for Brook against the Indian spinner. In the seventh over of England’s innings, Chakravarthy bowled another delivery that ??deceived Brook, leading to his second dismissal by the same bowler in as many games. This time, the ball landed and spun in sharply, with Brook late to react. It slipped through the gap between his bat and pad, shattering the stumps. He was out for 13 off 8 balls, with one four and one six. The consistency? with which Chakravarthy dismissed Brook highlighted the batter’s ongoing difficulties against the spinner’s variations.

Ravichandran Ashwin criticizes Brook’s ‘Fog�?excuse

Former Indian spinner Ashwin criticized Brook for blaming Kolkata’s fog for his dismissal in the first T20I, pointing out there was no such excuse in the second T20I in Chennai. He suggested that his dismissals were more due to his inability to read the spinner’s bowling than external conditions. Ashwin advised Brook to note that Chakravarthy primarily relies on googlies rather than leg-spin, suggesting Brook should focus on adapting to Chakravarthy’s bowling style.

“There was no smog in Chennai. So, Harry Brook said he got out because of smog at Eden Gardens. I just want to tell one thing to Harry Brook – ‘Harry Brook, keep this thing in mind that Varun Chakravarthy does not bowl leg-spin much, his main strength is googlies only,�?Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

Brook’s misreading of Chakravarthy’s googlies

Ashwin continued to highlight Brook’s recurring mistakes, adding that in the first T20I, Brook moved towards the leg-stump and was bowled by a googly. The former Indian cricketer further emphasized that reading Chakravarthy’s hand to identify the googly is crucial, adding that ?lighting or external conditions will not matter if a batter cannot decode the spinner’s deliveries.

�?em>Brook moved towards the leg-stump and got bowled out at Eden Gardens. Again, he covered the stumps and went on the front foot, he did not read the googly and lost his stumps in Chennai. If you see his hand, you can read the googly. It doesn’t matter how the light is, if you don’t see the googly coming, you won’t be able to play it,�?Ashwin concluded.

Ravichandran Ashwin names ‘most valuable T20 batter in the world’

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has lauded England opener Phil Salt as one of the ‘most valuable T20 batters in the world.’ Ashwin shared these remarks in a video on his YouTube channel.

Despite Ashwin’s high praise, he acknowledged that Salt isn’t entering the series in peak form. The recently retired off-spinner highlighted that Salt’s performances in the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were underwhelming. Salt managed to score a struggling 70 in three appearances, which didn’t match the expectations set by his reputation as a game-changer in T20 cricket.

“Phil Salt played for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. We can say that he could be the most valuable T20 batter in the world. So, if we look at his performance considering that, he is not coming in with a very good form. He scored a 70 and it was a very struggling 70,” Ashwin said.

Salt, who made his T20I debut in 2022 against the West Indies, has become a pivotal part of England’s batting lineup. With 38 T20I matches under his belt, he has amassed 1106 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 165.32. His aggressive approach at the top of the order and his ability to adapt to various match situations make him a significant asset for his side.
