New Delhi: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has not got a place in Team India for the Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI series against England. Apart from this, his name was also not announced for the T20 series against England. Siraj, who was part of the ODI World Cup to be played in India in 2023 and the T20 World Cup in June 2024, has now been left out of the squad for the Champions Trophy.
Siraj's brilliant performance
Recently, the Indian team played five Test matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia, in which Siraj performed brilliantly and took 20 wickets. He was the fourth bowler to take the most wickets in this series.
Rohit Sharma told the reason
Rohit Sharma cited Mohammed Siraj as the reason for not being selected in the Champions Trophy 2025 squad. He said in the press conference that Siraj has not been that effective at the moment and as the game progresses and the ball gets older, the impact of his bowling reduces. It was also reported that Siraj's performance on the Test tour of Australia was not anything special, where he was not able to take wickets on important occasions. It is noteworthy that Mohammed Siraj was a part of India's ODI team in 2024 during the Sri Lanka tour.
Arshdeep Singh got a chance
Arshdeep Singh has been selected as the third fast bowler in place of Siraj in Team India for the Champions Trophy. However, Arshdeep mainly plays T20 cricket and has played 8 ODI matches so far, in which he has taken 12 wickets. It will be interesting to see how successful this decision proves to be for them. Arshdeep has already played 2 T20 World Cups for India.
