Pakistan revealed their Champions Trophy 2025 team, and with nine of them dominating the list, the 15-man team appears to be hitting hard. Additionally, they have only selected Abrar Ahmed as their specialist spinner. In a mysterious Instagram post, 28-year-old all-rounder Aamer Jamal denounced the significant omission that caused such a sensation.
Before it was made public, Aamer Jamal was hailed as the squad’s sure-fire candidate.
The cricket player from Mianwali has participated in 17 games in various forms, taking 26 wickets and scoring 445 runs. He played a key role in Pakistan’s comeback during their tour to the nation in the series they lost to Australia. The heartbroken cricket player expressed his emotions on Instagram after being dropped.
“If betraying had a face,” wrote Aamer on his Instagram story.

Pakistan’s Babar Azam will open.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) allegedly guaranteed the right-arm pacer a place in the team, but the board broke their word and selected Faheem Ashraf instead, according to Geo News. It’s important to remember that Ashraf hasn’t played for Pakistan since December 2023; his most recent appearance was in a Test match in Perth against Australia.
Regarding Pakistan’s team, Babar Azam will serve as his deputy while Mohammad Rizwan has been selected captain. According to a formal announcement made by Asad Shafiq, a member of the National Selection Committee, Babar and Fakhar Zaman may open the innings for the squad throughout the competition.
Pakistan squad for the Champions Trophy:
Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Rizwan (c), Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Hasnain.
