Mohammed Siraj Axed From India's Champions Trophy Squad
Meanwhile, Siraj, the Indian pacer had a tough Test series against Australia. He took 20 wickets in the series but was still criticised of not backing up Jasprit Bumrah properly throughout the five-match series.
The Indian captain and the coach explained the reason behind Siraj's snub from India's Champions Trophy side that was picked on January 18.
"We wanted Arshdeep to come and play that role of bowling at the back end and (Mohammed) Shami, obviously we saw what he did with the new ball and that is where we feel that Siraj's effectiveness comes down a little bit if he's not going to take the new ball" Agarkar said on Siraj missing out.
