Nazmul Hossain Shanto was named captain as Bangladesh unveiled their squad for the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025. A major name missing from the lineup was former skipper and veteran all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan. The 37-year-old had been suspended from bowling in competitions under the jurisdiction of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) based on the outcome of an independent re-assessment conducted at Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in Chennai, India. Although he was eligible to play solely as a batter, Bangladesh had opted not to include him in the squad. The squad also missed out on the services of Tamim Iqbal, who recently called time on his international career and was among the leading run-getters in the previous edition of the tournament as Bangladesh made it to the semi-finals. Among the senior names, wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim and all-rounder Mahmudullah had cemented their place. A major highlight had been the maiden ODI call-up of Parvez Hossai Emon, who only had seven T20I outings under his belt. Prodigious quick Nahid Rana, who made his debut in the format in the recent series against the West Indies, had also been entrusted.[6]

Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the squad due to a lower back injury sustained in January during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Later, Harshit Rana was named as his replacement. Rana had impressive performance in ODI series against England, scalping six wickets in his first three outings. Bumrah had also missed the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, making this the second ICC event the 31-year-old has had to miss with a back injury. India also included spinner Varun Chakaravarthy in the squad, replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was originally part of the provisional team. Jaiswal had been named as a non-travelling substitute, alongside Mohammed Siraj and Shivam Dube.[8]

On 14 February, Ben Sears was ruled out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury and Jacob Duffy was added into the squad as an injury replacement.[10] This was the first major ICC tournament leading the side for new white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner, after a successful stint in the ODI & T20I series at home against Sri Lanka. The pace trio of Will O’Rourke, Ben Sears and Nathan Smith all featured in the squad, to play their maiden senior ICC event. Captain Santner was the frontline spin option, leading all-rounders Michael Bracewell, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra all playing support. Senior figures Kane Williamson and Tom Latham lent valuable experience to the side. Santner, Williamson and Latham were all part of New Zealand's squad for the previous edition of the Champions Trophy in England and Wales in 2017. Williamson also featured at the 2013 edition in England. Matt Henry spearheaded the pace bowling attack, in his fifth ICC event having played a key role in the last two ICC ODI and T20I World Cups.[11]
Lockie Ferguson missed the tournament due to an injury to his right foot and was replaced in the squad by fellow pacer Kyle Jamieson.[12] On 18 February, the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 approved Jamieson as his replacement in the New Zealand squad.[13][14]

Pakistan announced their squad on 31 January 2025.[15] Mohammad Rizwan lead the team, having done so since Babar Azam stepped down from the role after the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023. Rising star hitter Saim Ayub was a notable absentee, having sustained an ankle injury in Pakistan's New Year's Test in Cape Town, South Africa. Top-order batter Abdullah Shafique had also missed the cut, paving the way for Babar to secure one of the top-order roles. Veteran Fakhar Zaman was back in the mix, having played a monumental role in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. Also recalled were Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, and Saud Shakeel. Aaqib Javed continued his role as interim coach, stepping in after Gary Kirsten's departure last October.[16]
Fakhar Zaman was ruled out of the tournament as he sustained an injury while fielding against New Zealand in the opening match and was replaced by Imam-ul-Haq.[17] On 20 February, the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 approved Imam as his replacement in the Pakistan squad.[18]
