Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper-batsman Litton Das have been left out of the squad for the Champions Trophy beginning next month.

The Bangladesh batter, who was dropped from the Champions Trophy squad on Sunday morning, responded with a century later that day in the Bangladesh Premier League.

The hosts Pakistan and India are surprisingly the only two teams left who have yet to announce their squads for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Injuries to Saim Ayub and Jasprit Bumrah, respectively, are likely hampering their decisions, but with the ICC deadline just days away both need to be velocious with their decision.

Bangladesh have left Litton Das out of their squad for the Champions Trophy. The high-profile axing follows a string of low scores from the wicketkeeper-batter in ODIs: he has not made a half-century in his last 13 innings dating back to the 2023 ODI World Cup, and has been dismissed six times for single-digit scores in his last seven innings.

Pat Cummins will captain Australia at the Champions Trophy after being named in a preliminary 15-man squad also featuring fellow quick Josh Hazlewood on Tuesday.

Bangladesh Champions Trophy 2025 squad has been announced. It will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto and has a surprise exclusion.

Australia chief selector George Bailey has admitted that he doesn’t have much idea about the availability of Pat Cummins for the upcoming Champions Trophy, especially after undergoing scans on his ankle.
