New Delhi (Reuters): Indian cricket board has announced the final 15-member squad list for next month's Champions Trophy in England and Wales after Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave its all clear to the move in a Special General Meeting on Sunday, a massive climbdown from its initial aggressive stance.
