Mohammed Siraj Breaks Silence on T20 World Cup Snub, Cites Workload Management

  • Mohammed Siraj, part of India's 2024 T20 World Cup-winning squad, was not selected for the upcoming title defense.
  • India's 15-man squad includes Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana as specialist fast bowlers, with Hardik Pandya as the fourth option.
  • Siraj, a Test regular, has been in and out of ODI squads and seems to have fallen out of favor in T20Is since his last appearance during the Sri Lanka tour of 2024.
  • He defended his exclusion, citing workload management, explaining he was rested from an ODI series after bowling 40 overs in a Test match.
  • Siraj expressed his best wishes to the selected team, acknowledging that playing in a World Cup is a dream for any player.

Why It Matters: Mohammed Siraj attributes his T20 World Cup exclusion to workload management, wishing the team success.
