Left in the dark: Mohammed Siraj’s baffling treatment raises alarming questions over India’s World Cup planning

Questions have arisen regarding India's selection strategy after fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was limited to just four appearances in fifty-over matches throughout the year. Previously recognized as a spearhead for the bowling unit following a strong performance against England at The Oval last year, the athlete has seen a dramatic drop in playing time leading up to the 2027 tournament.

After finishing an exhausting Indian Premier League season with the Gujarat Titans, Siraj bowled thirteen overs during a single Test match against Afghanistan in Mullanpur. He subsequently missed multiple series before returning for the West Indies fixtures, where leadership under Shubman Gill utilized him sparingly during the tour.
