Heroku is not setting php version from my composer file

I did follow the guide to deploy a php project in heroku i am trying to deploy a laravel 5.6 project, i did everything it says to do and my composer looks like this

{
    "name": "My project",
    "description": "my project description.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.1.0",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",
        "intervention/image": "^2.4",
        "laravel/framework": "5.6.*",
        "laravel/tinker": "^1.0",
        "maatwebsite/excel": "~2.1.0"
    },
}

as you can see i am setting php ^7.1.0 but when i make push to heroku i see this

 Installing platform packages...
 remote:        - php (7.2.9)
 remote:        - ext-mbstring (bundled with php)
 remote:        - nginx (1.8.1)
 remote:        - apache (2.4.34)

what i want is to use php 7.1. What am i missing? do i have to add the php in another require?

^7.1.0 will support any version equal to or above 7.1.0 until 8.0.0. If you want only 7.1 minor versions, use 7.1.*.
