<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/lk.webp" width="1235" height="720" alt="After Missing Out on India’s Squads, Mohammed Siraj Hits the Gym with a Strong Message"/><p><strong>"Reset, Restart, Refocus": Mohammed Siraj Hits the Gym After Missing Out on India’s Squads for IND vs ENG ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025</strong></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Siraj">Mohammed Siraj,</a> despite his solid performances in shorter formats of cricket, wasn't picked for the <strong>ODI series against England </strong>or for the<a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/captain-rohit-sharma-assures-india-s-best-attempt-to-win-icc-champions-trophy-2025/"> ICC Champions Trophy 2025</a>. This move by the BCCI, favoring<strong> Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Arshdeep Singh </strong>as the top pace options, caused a problem, especially since Siraj has been a key player for India's bowling team before.</p><p>The IND vs ENG ODI series is starting on <strong>February 8</strong> and the ICC Champions Trophy follows right after on <strong>February 19.</strong> This decision puzzled a lot of fans and made some of the former cricketers upset. Reacting to this, Indian captain <strong>Rohit Sharma</strong> admitted feeling unhappy about Siraj being left out. Mr. Sharma mentioned that Siraj's game with the new ball wasn't up to mark lately, which might have swayed the selectors.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mohammed Siraj is getting ready for the Great Comeback. 🇮🇳 <a href="https://t.co/8e1Z0bNxdN">pic.twitter.com/8e1Z0bNxdN</a></p>— Johns.

But <strong>Siraj</strong> isn't simply sitting back. Instead of letting this get him down, he's excited and ready to show what he's made of Siraj shared a gym photo on Instagram with the words: <strong>Reset, Restart, Refocus</strong>. This clearly shows he's not out of the game just yet and is taking steps to recover stronger.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/sanjiv-goenka-rishabh-pant-as-ipl-s-next-great-captain/">Sanjiv Goenka : Rishabh Pant as IPL’s Next Great Captain</a></p><p>This shows us that when the situation appears tight, there's always room to <strong>refocus and aim for a comeback</strong>. Siraj is unfathomably determined and focused, and he's not letting missing out on major tournaments stop him from chasing his dream to play for India at the top level. It's a small fact that being fit and mentally ready is vitally important for him as he tries to impress the selectors in the future.</p><p>Today, he's noticeably about getting in shape, hitting the gym hard and making completely sure his thoughts are in the right place. The path to making it major isn't straight, and Siraj knows setbacks are just things that make him want to succeed even more. Everyone's keeping an eye on how <strong>he's doing in local matches</strong> and checking if he's staying fit, hoping he'll earn his spot back on the national team. Since Siraj is wholly invested in his goal to make an excellent comeback to the Indian team, he's definitely someone who keeps thinking about the future.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/Samson-Karun-and-Siraj_Reuters-and-PTI-2025-01-944fc52bfc6319c9f2b8522f2ebfa8b6 (1).webp" width="1277" height="720" alt="Three Deserving Names Left Out of the Champions Trophy Squad in India's final 15"/><h2>ICC Champions Trophy 2025: 3 Unlucky Indian Players Who Missed Out</h2><p>India’s 15 member squad for the <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/Inside%20the%20Lengthy%20Meeting:%20Debates%20on%20Vice-Captain%20and%20Wicketkeeper%20Selections/">ICC Champions Trophy 2025</a> was announced on January 18, and while the team boosts a strong lineup, a few big names missed out on selection. These players have been in remarkable form recently and can consider themselves unlucky. Here’s a look at three such players:</p><h4>1. Mohammed Siraj</h4><p> </p><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/kwdhoiqwhrioh.webp" alt="" width="1152" height="720"></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Siraj">Mohammed Siraj’s</a> A large number of fans didn't think Mohammed Siraj would be left out, but he was. Mister Siraj has been very good at dismissing players in cricket since 2023. Siraj got <strong>47 players ou</strong>t, and only one person, Kuldeep Yadav, got more than him.He got 53 people out. But the selectors who decide who plays picked Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Arshdeep Singh to be the main fast bowlers for the important games instead of Siraj.</p><p>To swing the ball both ways and deliver in high pressure situations has been a key factor in India’s success across formats. His performances in the last two years made a strong case for inclusion, but the competition for places in the squad proved too stiff. While Siraj’s absence is a blow to his fans, it underscores the depth of India’s pace bowling resources.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: Watch: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/coldplay-s-chris-martin-gives-a-shoutout-to-jasprit-bumrah-at-mumbai-concert/">Coldplay's Chris Martin Gives a Shoutout to Jasprit Bumrah at Mumbai Concert</a></p><h4>2. Karun Nair</h4><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/kk.webp" alt="" width="959" height="720"></p><p class="par" data-type="par" data-value="low">Everyone thought <strong>Karun Nair </strong>would play in the Champions Trophy because he did very well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Before the major last event, he got an average of <strong>752 runs</strong>, which is really good. In only seven times at bat, he made five major100's and one 50. The people choosing the players saw his doing very well and couldn't ignore him.</p><p class="par" data-type="par" data-value="low">However, as chief selector Ajit Agarkar explained, finding a spot in a star studded Indian batting lineup is no easy task. “You look at the guys who have been picked, all average well in excess of mid 40s. Unfortunately, you can't fit everyone in a squad of 15,” <strong>Agarkar</strong> said. While <strong>Nair’s exclusion is unfortunate</strong>, it highlights the immense competition for spots in the Indian team.</p><h4>3. Sanju Samson</h4><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/01/hjyuffy.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p class="par" data-type="par" data-value="low">Fans are surprised that<strong> Sanju Samson</strong> is not playing, because he's really proficient at changing his approach for different times in a match. Sanju is famous for being able to play carefully, like at the No. 3 spot, or be the best hitter at the No. 6 spot. In a game in 2023 against South Africa, he obtained 100 runs all by himself. Also he's made 510 runs in 16 of those one-day games, and that includes getting more than 50 runs three times and that one time he got 100 runs.</p><p>In T20Is, Samson’s record is equally commendable, with <strong>810 runs in 37 matches,</strong> featuring three centuries and a fifty. Notably, two of these centuries came in a T20I series against South Africa, underlining his ability to perform in challenging conditions. Despite his stellar credentials, the selectors chose to go with other options, leaving many fans and experts questioning the decision.</p><p>Mohammed Siraj, Karun Nair, and Sanju Samson didn't get to be on the Champions Trophy team because there are so many other talented players in India. This shows that cricket in India is clearly utterly tough and difficult and full of great players. Even though it's sad they aren't playing now, they are strong and probably will come back even better. Today, we are all looking at the players who did get to go as the team gets ready for the important<strong> ICC Champions Trophy 2025</strong>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/image/dir/Shubman-Gill.jpg" width="2048" height="1364" alt="ICC Men's ODI Rankings: Shubman Gill Surpasses Babar to Claim Top Spot as the World's Best Batsman, with Mohammed Siraj Leading as the Number One Bowler"/><p>ICC Men’s ODI Rankings: Four years ago, a promising young Indian batsman made his debut against the formidable New Zealand bowling attack in Hamilton, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse of his future potential. The anticipation surrounding him was so immense that even the great Virat Kohli endorsed his prodigious talent as “ten times” greater than his own when he was 19.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dominance in the ODI Rankings</h3><p>Although Shubman Gill’s inaugural ODI innings didn’t quite meet the lofty expectations, it served as a preview of his eventual batting mastery in the years to come. Fast forward to November 8, 2023, Gill accomplished a remarkable feat, ascending to the World No.1 ranking in just 41 innings in his career, a feat surpassed only by the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni.</p><p>On the other hand, Indian pace sensation Mohammed Siraj has once again ascended to the pinnacle of the rankings, with a rating of 709. This marks his third stint as the top-ranked bowler. He initially claimed the top spot between January and March 2023 but temporarily surrendered it to Josh Hazlewood. </p><p>However, Siraj’s exceptional performance in the Asia Cup, where he secured ten wickets with an impressive average of 12.20, propelled him up the rankings by eight positions, restoring him to the summit. Most recently, the Hyderabad prodigy overtook Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi to reclaim his crown.</p><p>Babar Azam’s reign as the top-ranked batter endured an impressive 950 days, and it took a remarkable year of exceptional form for Shubman to finally dethrone the Pakistani captain. As of now, the Indian opener boasts a six-point lead over Babar, with a rating of 830 to Babar’s 824.</p><p>Gill’s ascent to the summit was powered by his outstanding performance in India’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup campaign. Notably, he becomes only the fourth Indian player to hold the coveted No.1 ODI batter ranking, joining the elite company of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.</p><p>Gill’s meteoric rise to the top can be attributed to his exceptional form in 2023, accumulating an impressive 1449 runs in 26 innings during the calendar year, including 219 runs from six innings in the ODI World Cup 2023.</p><p>See Also:<a href="https://cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/anamul-haque-to-step-in-as-replacement-for-injured-bangladesh-skipper-shakib-al-hasan-in-world-cup-2023" class="broken_link">Anamul Haque to Step in as Replacement for Injured Bangladesh Skipper Shakib Al Hasan in World Cup 2023</a></p><p>Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s exceptional showing in the World Cup propelled him three positions up the rankings, placing him just one rating point away from South Africa’s Quinton de Kock, who currently holds the third spot. Notably, Indian captain Rohit Sharma secured the sixth position in the latest rankings.</p><p>The bowling rankings also feature a strong Indian presence, with Kuldeep Yadav climbing three places to secure the fourth position, Jasprit Bumrah advancing three spots to claim the eighth position, and Mohammed Shami surging seven places to comfortably settle in the 10th position. </p><p>Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, continues to maintain his status as the No.1 ranked all-rounder. Additionally, Team India retains its commanding position at the top of the rankings, a testament to their consistent excellence.</p>]]></content:encoded>
