The Indian pacemakers Mohammed Siraj have lost a place in the team of 15 members for the 2025 Champions Trophy despite their performances consisting in recent years. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh were the only three pacemakers chosen by Indian selectors for the next Marquean event. However, without updating the aptitude of Jasprit Bumrah and the absence of Shami of the current T20i series, questions are being asked about whether Mohammed Siraj will find a path in the Indian Champions Trophy team.
However, the former Cricket player from India Aakash Chopra is almost certain that Mohammed Siraj will play in the Champions Trophy for India. Ask a question about whether Siraj will replace Mohammed Shami in the 15 -member team in case of injuries, Chopra said: “Forget Shami, I don’t even know about Bumrah. From the team we have chosen, there is a pacemaker that is in shape and available (Arshdeep Singh). I have no idea of the other two. If even one of those two falls, the meaning is discarded, then Siraj automatically reaches the side. I think Siraj should clean the dirt of the spikes of their shoes and stay completely ready because I feel that I could end up playing in the Champions Trophy. ”
By explaining the reason behind his statement that Siraj will play in the Champions Trophy, Chopra said: “Until now, Shami has not played a single game, and Bumrah will play perhaps a hate. But last year, during the same months, We saw several times that Bumrah was selected but then retired … I was not completely fit and available. way will find a path in the champions trophy. “
What did Rohit Sharma say not choosing Mohammed Siraj?
In particular, the group of Indian experts has put their faith in the spinning and maintained the limited rhythm bowling options for the Champions Trophy. Speaking to the media after the team was announced, the captain of India, Rohit Sharma, said that Siraj had not found a place in the Indian team because they wanted someone who could play with the new and old ball in If Bumrah finally loses the tournament due to injuries.
“We are not sure whether Jasprit Bumrah will play or not. Therefore, we wanted someone who could play with the new ball and the old woman. Therefore, we have chosen Arshdeep Singh, due to their backend skills. Siraj’s effectiveness is reduced if you don’t use the new ball. It is unfortunate if it is lost, ”Rohit said in the press.
