Mohammed Siraj's ODI omission exposes India's lack of trust in batting and fickleness in selection process

Hindustan Times  

71 wickets in the last 43 ODIs - most by an Indian pacer since 2022 but still, Mohammed Siraj failed to impress the selectors to get picked in the Champions Trophy squad. Siraj - the workhorse in the Indian bowling unit - was shockingly ignored when skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar announced the team for the Champions Trophy on Saturday. The selection committee made a bold call by picking only three specialist pacers in the squad - where the first one is still recovering from a back injury - Jasprit Bumrah, the second - Mohammed Shami will be making his comeback to international cricket after more than a year just before Champions Trophy in England series, while the third - Arshdeep Singh has experience of just 8 ODIs. Mohammed Siraj failed to get picked in India's squad for the Champions Trophy.
