Akash Chopra has suffered a big shock due to Mohammed Siraj not being selected in the Champions Trophy team. After the team selection on his YouTube channel, in a video he said for Mohammad Siraj that his place has not been made in the team. He hasn't done anything bad enough that he should be thrown out altogether. I am feeling for Siraj. I think Siraj's name should have been in this team. A spinner could have been picked lower. You have picked three pacers. Two of them have to be fed and the fitness of two of them is not yet known.

Siraj has lagged behind Harshit Rana

Siraj has not been selected in Team India's squad not only for the Champions Trophy but also for the three-match ODI series against England. Harshit Rana has been replaced in his place, who has not even made his ODI debut yet.

Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said that Harshit Rana is also ahead of Mohammad Siraj. Harshit Rana has also been ahead of Siraj. Jasprit Bumrah's fitness is still in doubt. His scan will take place on 2 February. Only after this the decision will be taken on his further play but he is in the Champions Trophy team. Bumrah can also be seen in the third match of the ODI series against England. Ajit Agarkar had told that Bumrah will not be available for the first two ODIs against England. In such a situation, Harshit Rana has been selected for the ODI team.

Team India's squad for Champions Trophy:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh. .
