Pakistan Playing 11 For 2025 Champions Trophy: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday announced Pakistan’s 15 -member team for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The team’s fast bowling department is looking very strong. However, there are two major shortcomings in the Pak team. The first is that there is only one main spinner in the team and second is that there is only one specialist opener in the team. Well, know here how Pakistan’s playing XI can be in the Champions Trophy.
National selector Asad Shafiq has confirmed after the team’s announcement that Babar Azam or Saud Shakeel will start the innings with Fakhar Zaman in the tournament.
