This player was out of Champions Trophy

The Indian team has been announced for the Champions Trophy 2025 starting from 19th February. Let us tell you, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has been shown the way out of this tournament. Siraj has been continuously proving to be a flop for some time now. Also, he proved to be very expensive in the Australia tour. In such a situation, now he has not been given a place in the team for the Champions Trophy. At the same time, Mohammed Shami has got a place in the team. Jasprit Bumrah is also part of the squad. Along with this, the selectors have also not shown confidence in Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sanju Samson.

This player got a chance

Team India's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has played 44 ODI matches so far. In which he has taken 71 wickets. But despite this, he has not been given a chance in the Champions Trophy 2025 squad. Arshdeep Singh has been included as the third fast bowler in place of Siraj. However, it is worth noting that Arshdeep mainly plays T20 cricket for Team India. So far, he has played only 8 ODI matches in his career, in which he has taken 12 wickets.
