Team India looks fully prepared for the Champions Trophy. India will start its campaign against Bangladesh on February 20. But before that, BCCI can announce the Indian squad. Mohammed Siraj can get a big shock. He can be dropped from this ICC tournament. The reason behind this is his poor bowling.
Siraj’s bowling is not showing the edge for which he is known. Because he has been bowling mediocrely for the last year. Siraj has been badly beaten in Tests. On the other hand, he has played only 3 matches in ODIs. In which he has been able to take only 3 wickets. Seeing his performance, the selectors can show him the way out.
Siraj disappointed on Australia tour
A 5 match test series is being played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). Mohammed Siraj is a part of the Indian squad in this series. He got the opportunity to play in all the matches of this series. But, Siraj could not do anything special in bowling. He did take 11 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. But, when the team needed wickets from him, he disappointed the captain and scored runs in the test at an average of around 5.
Shami may get a place as a replacement
Mohammed Shami may return in place of star fast bowler Mohammed Siraj in the Champions Trophy. If Siraj is dropped due to poor performance, then Mohammed Shami can be chosen as his replacement. Shami is fully fit. He bowled brilliantly in domestic cricket. In such a situation, he can be seen playing in the Champions Trophy. Let us tell you that last year Shami took the most 24 wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023. Fans will expect a similar performance from him in the Champions Trophy
