In the recently concluded Test series against England, Indian cricket team fast bowler Mohammad Siraj caught everyone’s attention with his superb bowling. In this series, he took a total of 23 wickets and emerged as the most successful bowler. His fire spewing balls upset the England batsmen, especially in the last Test, his 9 wickets gave India a thrilling victory. Now the Indian team will field in September 2025 after the break, but the question is whether Siraj will be part of that team?
Mohammad Siraj will be out of Team India?
Team India will now be seen playing in the Asia Cup 2025. This tournament will be played in September, which will be in T20 format. In such a situation, whether Siraj will be part of this tournament or not, it is a big suspense. In fact, Mohammad Siraj has so far won 44 ODIs in his career and his bowling in many Tests. However, the path of Siraj in T20 format was not as easy. He played the last T20 series for India in July 2024 against Sri Lanka, but after that he did not get a chance in the T20 series against Bangladesh, South Africa and England.
After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of the Indian team in July 2024, Siraj has been able to play in only one T20 series. In Gambhir’s coaching, the Indian team has been focused on young players, due to which an experienced bowler like Siraj has got less opportunities in T20 format. Gambhir’s strategy has been to prepare different teams for different formats, and it looks more confirmed in Test and ODI instead of Siraj. In such a situation, is not the first choice of Siraj head coach Gambhir in T20 format?
Mohammad Siraj’s T20 I career
Mohammad Siraj has played 16 T20 matches for Team India so far. During this, he has taken 14 wickets while spending runs from an economy of 7.79. Not only this, he was also part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup in 2024. He was also selected in the team’s playing 11 in the initial match. In such a situation, the selection of Team India for the Asia Cup has his experience in favor of Siraj and the ability to perform on a big stage.
