Recently, ICC had released the schedule of the Champions Trophy to be held in 2025. Eight teams will participate in this tournament including India and Pakistan. The tournament will be held in Pakistan and Dubai. Except England, no other team has announced its squad for the Champions Trophy. However, star players are expressing their desire to play in this ICC tournament. Shadab Khan of Pakistan is also included in this series. He has started preparations for the Champions Trophy and for this he has taken the help of his own country's former great cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq.

Saqlain is training Shadab

Shadab Khan is Pakistan's star all-rounder. However, after the T20 World Cup 2024, he is seen struggling for his place in the Pakistani team. His form is also not supporting him. Saqlain Mushtaq is helping him in such times. Shadab said about Saqlain, 'He has been a successful player and is a qualified coach, so he is now helping me in getting the old touch back in my bowling at the High Performance Center and improving my batting.'

Shadab wants to play Champions Trophy

Shadab is dreaming of playing Champions Trophy 2025. He wants to make a comeback in the Pakistani team through this tournament. The special thing is that the Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan, due to which Shadab's expectations have increased further. Shadab said, 'I miss playing for Pakistan and with the Champions Trophy being held at home and there being a lot of cricket, I want to convince the selectors to invite me back to international cricket.'
