The Indian chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, and captain Rohit Sharma have dropped the fiery pacer Mohammed Siraj from the ODI squad, as the BCCI announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, starting on February 19, 2025.
Sanju Samson and Mohammed Siraj are two big names missing from India's squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Siraj, who has been a regular feature in India's ODI scheme of things, hasn't even been included as a backup option for the prestigious tournament.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said at the press conference, “Mohammad Siraj is not effective, and his effectiveness comes down when the ball gets older.”. Following Siraj’s dropping, fans became furious at the BCCI, Ajit Agarkar, and Rohit, saying they would regret dropping the pacer.

Following the announcement, Indian fans have been saying the BCCI and Ajit Agarkar will cry for making such a selfish blunder. Many fans have been blaming Mumbai's influence for Siraj’s snub, while some are calling it KKR influence, as Harshit Rana was preferred over the seasoned pacer for the Champions Trophy 2025 as a backup pacer.
Here's how fans react to Mohammed Siraj's snub for the Champions Trophy 2025:

I don't know why harshit rana is there in the odi squad against England. You have siraj, prasidh. He has not performed exceptionally well in recent time. Just because of #KKR quota. #ChampionsTrophy2025 #INDvsENG

No Siraj? Really, Bcci thinks Harshit> Siraj even for the replacement in odi series ? He was the Bumrah's replacement during 2022-2023 Bumrah's injury period. Is it just because Srilankans aren't playing?#ChampionsTrophy2025 #ChampionsTrophy pic.twitter.com/6u8hwflEGi
