India’s fiery paceman Mohammed Siraj has faced a blistering question about his omission from the squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026, and his response was absolute gold ahead of the three-match ODI series decider against New Zealand in Indore on January 18.
Mohammed Siraj was part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup-winning team, but he will miss the home tournament starting February 7 in Mumbai. Jasprit Bumrah will lead India’s pace attack, featuring Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, with Hardik Pandya as the fourth pace bowling option.
