Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed disappointment over Mohammed Siraj not being picked for the upcoming Asia Cup scheduled for later this September. He believes India will miss the ‘X-factor’ that Siraj usually brings to the bowling attack.
Harbhajan on Siraj’s Value
Harbhajan said Siraj had bowled impressively in the recent series and even managed to get enough rest after the England tour. He felt the selectors should have included him, adding that the energy and impact Siraj brings could be missed.
Selectors’ Difficult Choice
However, with India’s current talent pool in T20Is, it becomes tough to choose one player over another. The selectors are not entirely to blame as competition for spots remains extremely high across all formats.
Long-Term Strategy for India
While Siraj’s omission might hurt India in the Asia Cup, many analysts believe this is part of a larger plan. His workload management could be more beneficial for ODIs and Test cricket, where his presence is considered vital for success.
