3 Reasons why India cannot win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

1. Speculated rift and uncertainty within the Indian team

Though the above title sounds generic to the fanatics, it could be a significant reason behind India's faulty campaign in the upcoming Champions Trophy tournament. Be it a vast sporting board or a small-scale company, sound and robust internal management plays a decisive role in the working of a team and, in return, provides the desired results. The same applies to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), the monitoring board of the Indian Cricket team.

Recent speculations of uncertainty within the board, selectors, captain, coaches and a few influential players due to some forgettable recent performances have led to a lack of unison in the lineup formation due to scattered opinions and requirements. For instance, the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy India squad announcement got delayed by an hour or two as there have been some eleventh-hour discussions regarding the squad, which adds more oil to the fire. Though concrete pointers don't back this aspect, they act as an invisible hand in the team's winning goals and process aspects, which will come under scrutiny in the future, only if the results aren't obtained.
