ICC Rankings: Smriti Mandhana got a big shock in the ICC rankings, even after winning the World Cup for India, she was snatched the number 1 crown.

About 2 years ago, India won 2023 Asia. Sri Lanka’s allout for just 50 runs was a shocking moment for the world. Team India finished that match in just 37 balls. Mohammad Siraj was the biggest hero of India’s victory, who bowled 7 overs and took just 21 runs and took 6 wickets. He was chosen as ‘Player of the Match’ for this performance, but Siraj is not playing the 2025 Asia Cup. Know what is the real reason for this?

Why is Mohammad Siraj not playing?

A report was revealed in a report before the Indian squad was announced for the Asia Cup 2025. It claimed that 2 main fast bowlers in Team India may be Jaspreet Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Now after the squad announcement, the situation is that Bumrah and Arshdeep will be the 2 main fast bowlers. It is possible that the third fast bowler may play all -rounder Hardik Pandya. Hardly Team India landed on UAE’s pitches with 4 fast bowling options. In such a situation, it would be difficult for Mohammad Siraj to fit into the playing XI.

Anyway, Mohammad Siraj was the highest overs bowler in the Test series against England. He bowled 185.3 overs on England Tour. Since the Asia Cup is coming soon after 2025, the Test series against the West Indies and then the ODI series against Australia. Due to these series, it is possible that Siraj has been rested from the Asia Cup.

Indian Squad of Asia Cup: Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice -captain), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh
