Former Indian Indian Indian Dinesh Karthik shared his thoughts on excluding Mohammed Sijj from India's team for the future trophy of ICC 2025 champions. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh were elected in the Peace department for the prestigious tour.
Reacting to the rhythm attack of India for the ICC 2025 champions trophy, Dinesh Karthik believes it was a correct selection, especially given the phenomenal performance of Arshdeep Singh in the last two years.

Dinesh Karthik was quoted by the crick: “I think it's sad, but fair. To whom they left? Bumrah, Shami and Arshdeep, who were phenomenal in white ball cricket. But what would hurt him, I feel, is that Harshit Rana was chosen in front of him in the first two bilateral matches against England. “
The 30-year-old Fast Bowler took 71 wicked in 44 Odi he played for the national cricket team in India. Siraj had a remarkable year in 2023, where the number one in the world had become Bowler. Even in 2024, the Hyderabad Bowler was in a good form with the ball, especially in tests.
In 2024, Sijira took 35 wickedness in 25 tests, and he played in all three Odis India played last year, but only 3 wicked. In T20S last year, the fiery peace received the chance to play in just 2 T20i, especially due to the management of his work volume, and took a single wicket.

However, the past record of the Indian trader is impressive and recently shone with the ball in the Australia tour, taking 20 wickedness in the border trophy-Gavaskar 2024-25. Despite this fact, Siraj was overlooked for the future ICC Champions 2025 trophy, and Karthik suggested that the bowler prove and make a strong return in the white ball configuration.
Dinesh Karthik signed, saying, “Now, this is where Sijira will look and say,” Look, I think I deserve better than I will do better than that because he has achieved skills. But, for now, for the champions trophy, I think it is a fair decision regarding Agarkar and the part of Rohit Sharma. “

You need a reserve peace and Mohammed Siraj could have been a good option: Irfan Pathan
Recently, former Indian Irfan Pathan expressed concern about the limited rhythm throwing options in India 2025. The commentator also suggested that Mohammed Siraj should have been appointed as a team, especially having in view of Jasprit Bumrah's fitness problems.
Irfan Pathan was quoted by The Indian Express: “You need a spare fisher. Siraj could have been a good option. In Dubai, playing four spinners is not viable. With Bumrah and Shami who return from the wounds, it will not be easy. A peacekeeper like sister would have filled this void.
That being said, we hope that the selectors' choices will work well and we should support them. When you were such an experienced campaign and you are among the first 10 Bowlers in India, you understand the limits of your body. “
