Mohammed Siraj revealed a conversation with Rohit Sharma and stated that the need for extra spinners in Dubai led to his exclusion, and he was told to spend time with his family.
There was no place for the premier pacer Mohammed Siraj in the setup despite his good performances in the format. India followed a spin-heavy strategy in the competition as five spinners - Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Varun Chakravarthy - were part of the squad.
Speaking at the Indian Express' Idea Exchange, Mohammed Siraj was asked about his ICC Champions Trophy and Asia Cup 2025 snub and whether he is being looked at as a Test specialist.
"I’m 200 per cent confident of doing well in all three formats when given a chance. We played the Champions Trophy in Dubai, there was heat, and we needed more spinners there, that’s why I wasn’t picked. Rohit (Sharma) bhai told me that most of the bowling would be done by spinners and he didn’t want me to go there and just sit on the bench.
Yes, 100 per cent I felt the pressure - Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj further admitted that he felt the pressure of watching the India vs Pakistan matches in the Asia Cup 2025 due to all the controversies surrounding it. He said:
