You can use a list in the day-of-month field, like 4,25, so the crontab entry should look like 0 17 4,25 * * /home/test1.sh -f ABCD.
I'm afraid arguments can't be modified, so you need to calculate the values needed in the script itself.
EDIT: Maybe you can use a wrapper script that calls your initial script with that calculated date?

nnstats
NNSTATS(1m) NNSTATS(1m)
NAME
nnstats - display nnmaster collection and expire statistics
SYNOPSIS
nnstats [ -lt ] [ -d month day ] [ -m month ] [ logfile ]...
DESCRIPTION
nnstats will extract the collection (C) and expiration (X) entries from the log file and calculate total and average number of articles,
groups and elapsed time per day, per month, or for the duration of the whole log file.
Normally only a summary for the specified period is printed. If -l is specified, the statistics for each day in the period is also
printed, and if -t is specified the summary is not printed.
Normally the statistics is collected for all days in the log files (or the current log file if one is not specified).
If "-m month" is specified, the statistics for that month is calculated. The month is specified in normal date notation, i.e. a capital-
ized three letter abbreviation like Jan, Feb, ...
If "-d month day" is specified, the statistics for that date only is calculated and printed.
FILES
../Log The log file
SEE ALSO
nn(1), nnusage(1M), nnadmin(1M), nnmaster(8)
NOTES
If nnmaster is run with options -LCX, nnstats will not work, because the necessary entries are not written to the log file.
