England Best Playing 11 for ICC Champions Trophy 2025

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 which is set to start from February 19, has a lot of excitement tagged to it. With England being the first team to announce their official squad for the tournament being held in Pakistan, let’s have a look at, England’s Team Combination and Best Playing 11 for ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Team England’s Best Combinations

Apart from the best combinations, the biggest setback for the team would be the injured Ben Stokes. He has been dropped from the official squad as he’s been struggling with a hamstring injury.

Hard-Hitting Openers

Ben Duckett and Phil Salt will be the leading opening selections for the tournament, as they have showcased their talent in BBL and ODI’s as well. With a spinning pitch in Pakistan, the team will need these two to stack up their strike rates with the tournament challenges.

Balanced Middle-Order

Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, and Joe Root will look to seal the deal for the middle-order in the playing XI. Although, Joe Root hasn’t played an ODI since the year 2024. The pressure on his shoulders is immense during the high-profile tournament.

On the other hand, Jacob Bethell still needs major improvements in his ODI performances to strike a balance with the team, if not he could be seen as a major test player in the future. Jos Buttler and Harry Brook are an automatic addition to the squad because of their significant performances in ODIs.

Pace Merchants At Work

Apart from Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Brydon Carse. Adil Rashid is the only spinner in the bowling attack of the English Squad, Carse has been providing his best figures for the team. He was the joint-leading wicket-taker for the team in the year 2024. The pacers will be significant for the flat pitch in Pakistan.
