He too deserved a bit of rest. Ideally should have been dropped but lack of quality and also the pressure of having someone who bowls long spells meant that his role was key to team India’s bowling plans.

Good bowler but a 3rd or 4th bowler.
Lord's 2021 was him at his potential.
Last hurrah of the Ishant-Bumrah-Shami trio with Siraj as 4th.
That and Wanderers 2018 are two of my favourite matches. 4 fast bowlers. All good.
Need to let Akash, Prasidh, Harshit develop a bit.
Shami-Ishant-Umesh-Bhuvi also took some time.
Bumrah is a freak and GOAT material so an exception.

Rohit Sharma during the press conference today:
“Only Siraj is not there (among experienced players). We are not sure of Bumrah and so we picked a squad where we had options of players who can bowl up front and at the back end."
"If Bumrah is not there, we wanted Arshdeep to do it. That is where we felt Siraj's effectiveness comes down when he is not taking the new ball. It is unfortunate he is missing out but we had to get guys who can perform a certain role. I feel we have players who can bowl with new ball, bowl in the middle and at the end.”

Red-ball Cricket Is My Life, Playing For Nation Biggest Motivation: Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj said red-ball cricket was his ‘life’ and representing India was his ‘biggest motivation’ on the sidelines of the 2025 Ranji Trophy match for Hyderabad against Vidarbha.
Siraj took a small break after the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, where he bowled the most overs for India — despite dealing with injuries — and took the second-highest wickets after Jasprit Bumrah. He couldn’t match Bumrah in consistency in the series and a lack of support from the rest of the bowling lineup increased his workload, affecting his impact and leading to criticism in media.
“Playing for Hyderabad after so many years felt very good. It was great playing with some of my friends," Siraj told Sportstar. “Red-ball cricket is my life and I will do anything to play it. I have always said Test cricket is my everything. When I get the red ball in hand, I enjoy it a lot. I don’t think about my performance too. You can see I bowl long spells. That is because I love this format so much," he added.
Siraj also supported the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s decision to make featuring in domestic cricket mandatory for international stars.
“When you are free or available as a player, you have to take time out to represent your State. The youngsters in the team will be motivated by your presence. They will get a boost too, sharing dressing rooms with Virat bhai and Rohit bhai. It is a good sign for the new generation," he said.
“As a human being, of course, you need some rest from time to time. But when you have the ball in hand and you are representing your country, you just run in and bowl. Your biggest motivation is playing for the nation. This has been your dream since childhood, so when you get the opportunity, you will want to grab it. I just enjoy the fact that I’m realising my dream of playing for India," he added.
Siraj picked up four wickets in the match and also hit a few good boundaries but Hyderabad lost by 58 runs.
Despite being India’s highest ODI wicket-taker since 2022, Siraj has been left out of the squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy and the three-match series against England. Unless there are any injury-enforced changes, he’ll be next seen in action in the IPL for his new team, Gujarat Titans.

DSP Siraj breathing fire once again. He’s been in good form in the IPL. Bowling with great energy.
When Siraj is bowling in full flow it’s a sight to watch

Rana’s bowling is not suited for English conditions.
I would take Bumrah, Siraj, Arshdeep (played county cricket), Akashdeep, Thakur , Prasidh.
Kuldeep should be the lone spinner, Jadeja and Sundar as spin allrounders.

It's a 5 Test series. Will have to rotate the bowlers . Else they'll be huffing and puffing by the 5th Test or worse, injured

Hats off to Mohammad Siraj.
Taking 6/70 in a test match someone scored a 269 in your team and the opponents two batters smashed 350 runs in two sessions has to be one special effort.
Well done DSP Sahb.

He did good as a leader. Prasidh needs to be booted out.
Brilliant by Siraj. When he gets it right he is very good and hard to handle. Fantastic spell on a flat wicket. Harry Brook agreed that Siraj and Akashdeep got more of the wicket than English bowlers did. I am disappointed with Prasidh though. He needs to be dropped.

Mr 100% effort for sure.
Playing for India means something for this brother. You can always see it in his attitude while playing for India. Loves every second of it and gives his everything for the nation. Sometimes it’s not good enough but when he gets it right he’s a quality pacer.
He must have been tired in AusHats off to Mohammad Siraj.

He played a lot
Bowled too many overs
We badly missed shami
We would have wiped out Aus if shami played in bgt along with gill at 4 instead of opening. Also jurel who got unfairly dropped after one game
He needs rest though
But Prasidh is useless
Maybe bring kambhoj in and rest siraj
Bring booms for next game
