Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra is perplexed with the selectors’ call to leave out Mohammed Siraj from India’s Champions Trophy squad. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India have decided to include Harshit Rana in the squad instead of the Hyderabad pacer. Further, the addition of Varun Chakravarthy increases India’s spin strength to five.

Taking to social media platform X, Chopra opined that he though Bumrah‘s absence will force the selectors to pick Siraj. The former has been ruled out of Champions Trophy due to a lower back injury. While Rana has been picked in the squad ahead of Siraj, the latter has been named as a non-travelling reserve.
I thought Bumrah’s absence will force selectors to pick Siraj. Have 4 pacers in the squad. It’s also interesting to note how quickly the plan to play Yashasvi in the XI ahead of Iyer is abandoned…to the extent that Yashasvi isn’t even a part of the CT squad.
