England have announced their squad for the tour of India and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Jos Buttler will continue to lead the team amidst speculations of him stepping down from the role after England's underwhelming performances in the recent ICC events.
However, the biggest surprise was the omission of Ben Stokes from the ODI squad. Stokes is England's premier allrounder and is one of the most experienced players in the team. He is also a big-match player who has performed brilliantly under pressure over the last few years.
