India Make Surprising Changes In Champions Trophy 2025
India made several surprising calls in the squad announcement as they dropped Mohammed Siraj, who had formed a formidable pair with Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah over the years. Then, Sanju Samson found no place in the team as Rishabh Pant was preferred over the Kerala-based cricketer.
There were also reports that the reason why the meeting between Rohit, selectors, and Gautam Gambhir got delayed was because of difference of opinions on Sanju Samson's exclusion.
