Despite bowling with intensity and passion throughout the 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Mohammed Siraj didn’t achieve the results he had hoped for. Apart from a strong performance in the Sydney Test, Siraj was largely ineffective in the series, conceding too many runs without troubling the Australian batters significantly.

After being excluded from the Indian team for the prestigious tournament, Siraj has now outlined his future plans, sharing a post on social media that has sparked significant disc??ussion within the cricketing community.
