In what was the biggest shock in terms of selection, Mohammed Siraj was dropped from the India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This was because India opted to go with just three fast bowlers Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Arshdeep Singh.
But what was surprising was Mohammed Siraj wasn't even the backup as Harshit Rana has been named as a cover for Bumrah in India's ODI squad for the home series against England. With Siraj missing out, Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar have faced a lot of criticism as well.
I feel Mohammed Siraj can be back in the side if Bumrah is not fully fit - Suresh Raina
"Siraj was in a different form in Australia but you can change the squad till 12 February. So I feel Siraj can be back in the side if Bumrah is not fully fit."
Shami lacks match practice, Bumrah is still uncertain and Kuldeep is returning from an operation - Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina also feels that with uncertainty over Jasprit Bumrah and no clarity over the rhythm of Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav will be playing a big role for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He elaborated:
Mohammed Shami last played for India in the ICC World Cup 2023. He will be making his comeback in the upcoming three-match T20I series in England. Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, got injured during the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand and will be making a return in the ODI series.
