Suresh Raina is missing Mohammad Siraj.

New Delhi. Amid concerns over Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness and Mohammed Shami’s return to international cricket after a year, Suresh Raina believes that Mohammed Siraj can still make a place in the Indian team for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. There is a big concern in the fast bowling department of the Indian team for the Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Dubai in February, as senior players are in a race to be fit for the tournament.

Shami will have to stake his/her claim for selection in the upcoming white ball matches against England, while Bumrah’s availability still remains a mystery. The Indian Cricket Board has taken another shocking decision by not selecting Siraj, who along with Bumrah and Shami was part of the fast bowling trio in India’s 2023 World Cup campaign.

Raina said in Star Sports press room. “Harshit Rana has performed well. he/she has good pace, bouncer, variety, yorker and pace. Both he/she and Arshdeep Singh can bowl in the death overs, but I still think Siraj is a better option if Bumrah is not there,”

Siraj’s performance in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy series was a matter of concern. he/she took 20 wickets in the series and became India’s second highest wicket taker in the series after Bumrah. Despite concerns over Siraj’s selection, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has supported the Hyderabad fast bowler. It remains to be seen whether Team India makes changes in its squad in the coming time or not. ICC’s deadline is till 11 February.
