India miss ICC deadline for announcing Champions Trophy squad

26 April 2017 12:24

India are the only team to miss the deadline for announcing their squad for this summer's Champions Trophy in England.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) deadline for submitting squads for the June tournament passed on Tuesday, with the seven other nations registering their 15-man line-ups.

The ICC are understood to remain relaxed about India's delays, however, with Tuesday's initial squad submission deadline focused chiefly around promotional purposes.

India are not expected to face any penalty for missing the initial deadline, provided they move forward and submit their squad as anticipated.

India have continued to object to ICC plans to cut their share of international revenue in a bid to boost the coffers of developing nations.

The ICC's meetings held this week in Dubai on the future of Test cricket will conclude on Thursday.

The eight-team Champions Trophy will start on June 1 at the Kia Oval, with England having named fit-again pace bowler Mark Wood in their squad.
