The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday (18th January) announced the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit Sharma will be leading the team while Shubman Gill has been appointed his deputy for the tournament.
Mohammed Siraj missing out comes as a big surprise as the fast bowler has a great record in the ODIs. He was part of the Indian team for the ICC World Cup 2023 as well and was decent with the team. Along with that, he featured in the T20 World Cup 2024 as well, with his last ODI outing coming in a series against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team.
We wanted to pick someone who could bowl the new ball and in the death - Rohit Sharma on Mohammed Siraj's snub
“It’s only Siraj who isn’t there. But that’s purely because we’re not sure if Jasprit Bumrah will play. We wanted to pick someone who could bowl the new ball and in the death. And, we wanted Arshdeep to take that role”
Siraj’s effectiveness comes down when not bowling with the new ball - Rohit Sharma
“We’re only taking three seamers there. We wanted all-rounders with us. It’s unfortunate that Siraj has to miss out. Siraj’s effectiveness comes down when not bowling with the new ball. We have no option but we wanted guys for specific roles. We wanted guys who can bowl with the new ball, and be effective in the middle overs and at the back end.
