India’s star Pesar Mohammad Sirj has not chosen for the Champions Trophy 2025. Fast bowler was struggling with his form ahead of the tournament and it expelled him from the India squad for the mega event. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana were pure pacers which were chosen by India. The team moved forward to win the title with a solid win over New Zealand in the final match of the tournament. In particular, India remained unbeaten in the event, which won five consecutive matches.
Reacting to his snub, Siraj was quite honest in accepting that it was a difficult time for him and he found difficult to deal with it.
“For a professional, an ICC phenomenon is incredibly important. It is every player’s dream to win one.
“I started focusing on my fitness and running. I spoke to Soham Bhai (trainer Soham Desai) who guided me with a program to work on his fitness. Soham Bhai has been a significant support system for me, both in the past and the present. When I did not explain him in 2018, I told me.” I said, “he said.”
Sirj has not played limited over cricket for India for eight months. The presence of his last white ball returned in August 2024. It was an ODI match vs Sri Lanka. The Right-Arm Paper was part of the Indian team which visited Australia for the five-match Test series that took place in January this year.
Siraj is currently playing for the Indian Premier League 2025 for Gujarat Titans. This has been a good season for him as Pesar has taken 11 wickets in 7 matches. Their economy is 8.96.
