Fakhar, Haris Back; Babar Play? Pakistan’s Champions Trophy 2025 Team

Champions Trophy 2025 Fakhar Back

With Champions Trophy 2025 just around the corner, the anticipation is building immensely. Team Pakistan is set to defend their winning title in the latest edition and so, the preparations are more than impeccable this time.

From squad to strategy, fans and analysts are expecting PCT to come up with a solid plan that can really help them defeat opponents like they did in the last season. With the tournament getting closer each day, there are speculations about the final squad of team Pakistan.

As defending champions, Pakistan will have a lot of pressure to save their title. Therefore, the core plan would be repeating the strategy from 2017 and lift the winning trophy. However, there are many obstacles in the way of team Pakistan this time.

Specifically, the formation of a consistent squad remains under scrutiny and question given the previous performances and the upcoming tri series against New Zealand and South Africa.

Big names such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Muhammad Rizwan are most likely to make it to the final squad for CT 2025. No matter the inconsistent performances from these players, they would certainly be a part of the final squad.

Additionally, emerging players like Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique also stands a chance in the squad given their brilliant performances in the recently played matches.

Veteran names such as, Fakhar Zaman and Haris Raif, are also likely to be included despite them being dropped out from the recent matches. It is because of their expertise in playing international events that they will make a spot in the final squad.

Though the final composition of the team would majorly depend on the players’s performances in the upcoming ODI matches, the potential squad of Team Pakistan for CT 2025 can be described as follows –

Batsmen

  • Babar Azam
  • Muhammad Rizwan
  • Saim Ayub
  • Fakhar Zaman

All-Rounders

  • Kamran Ghulam
  • Salman Ali

Pacers

  • Shaheen Afridi
  • Naseem Shah
  • Abbas Afridi
  • Muhammad Hasnain
  • Aamer Jamal

Spinner

  • Abrar Ahmed

Wicketkeeper

  • Muhammad Rizwan

While the potential squad looks promising, Pakistan’s journey towards defending the Champion’s title doesn’t seem very easy. Several players seem out-of-form and inconsistent in their performances.

Also, the matches and series played in the recent past shows no good signs with major losses and very few victors on Pakistan’s side.

Therefore, it is important that the squad is finalized with close consideration of each player’s performance as well as their form. The better the squad would be, the bigger the chances for PCT to defend their title.
