India opener KL Rahul, who is sitting out the IPL with a shoulder injury, has revealed he is unlikely to regain full fitness in time for the Champions Trophy.

I think we need to look at the conditions as well and select guys that are going to be technically good enough in those conditions. The ball is going to swing a bit so we need solid openers. I'd go with:

1. KL Rahul

2. Rohit / Rahane - At this stage I lean towards Rahane

3. Kohli (c)

4. Raina

5. Dhoni

6. Yuvraj

7. Ashwin

8. Jadeja

9. Shami

10. Umesh

11. Bumrah
