All the fans were eagerly waiting for the announcement of Team India for the Champions Trophy 2025, which was finally announced on February 18 by chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma in a press conference held at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai. While the places of many players in this 15-member team were already considered confirmed, some surprising decisions were also seen. Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, who was a part of Team India’s squad in the 2023 ODI World Cup and 2024 T20 World Cup, was not selected in the team announced for both the Champions Trophy 2025 and the three-match ODI series against England to be held before that. Has gone.
Captain Rohit Sharma gave the reason for not selecting Mohammad Siraj
Team India captain Rohit Sharma also explained the reason behind Mohammed Siraj not being selected after the Champions Trophy 2025 squad was announced, in which he said in the press conference that Mohammed Siraj was not proving to be that effective and as the game progressed. Also, when the balls get a little old, their effectiveness reduces even more. Let us tell you that the Test tour of Australia was also nothing special for Siraj where he could not get wickets for the team at important times. Mohammed Siraj was a part of the squad when Team India played its last ODI series on the tour of Sri Lanka in the year 2024.
Arshdeep Singh got a chance in the team in place of Siraj
Arshdeep Singh has got a chance in the Champions Trophy 2025 squad in place of Mohammad Siraj, who has shown excellent performance with the ball in the limited overs format in the last few years. When Team India won the T20 World Cup in the year 2024, Arshdeep’s form was excellent in the entire tournament. Arshdeep has played a total of 8 ODI matches in his career so far, in which he has taken 12 wickets at an average of 24.08.
