They announced their squad for the mega event with Jos Buttler retaining the leadership of the team. Star batter Joe Root is making his comeback into the side, but Ben Stokes has been left out because of the injury.

England's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 Jos Buttler (C), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Saqib Mahmood, Phil Salt, Mark Wood Also Read | ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Tentative Schedule Unveiled The biggest positive for the England cricket team is the comeback of their star batter, Joe Root, who will be the most important batter for the team in the Asian conditions. The start batter has plenty of experience playing in Asian conditions, and he also has success in such conditions. He is making his comeback into the white ball cricket after one year. He played his last ODI match back in 2023, in the ICC ODI World Cup. Joe Root is going to be key for success for the England team as he accesses the conditions in Asia very well, but he will be more important in the later half of the tournament when surfaces will be turning. So far in his ODI career he has scored 6533 runs at an average of 47.16 alongside 16 centuries. Missing their champion player Ben Stokes can dent the England team, because we all know what he can do on bigger stages. He has displayed his brilliance on the grand stages on several occasions. He suffered an injury against New Zealand in the Test match, and that is the only reason why he is out of the team. Young allrounder Will Jacks is also missed from the team.
