Siraj should play the ODIs I think.  Give him a couple of games.  Rest Bumrah & Shami for at least 2 ODIs.  He may not be part of the squad but he can be added if needed.  He should get a game Imo.  But I think clueless management will give him a game in T20..  Main bowlers may play side game.

Sad news. RIP Mr. Siraj. 53 is way too young.

Should go and be with his family for a couple of days at least, we don't need him in ODIs/T20s anyway. 

 

RIP his dad. 

RIP

 

He will have to quarantine in India too before he goes home. Not much use going after 14 days and then again quarantine on his way back.

I feel for Siraj.

 

Sports are tough and people forget how difficult it is to make it to the top. Imagine not being able to attend your father's funeral because of an elusive opportunity you are getting. Kohli faced similar problem and now Siraj. Least we can do is respect everyone who makes it on merit in the team.

Rest in peace to Siraj's father. Its unfortunate that he can't see him with this corona thing going on. My condolences to him and his family.

Siraj's dad must be smiling from above, heart-warming debut.

A superb day for Siraj.  He was directly involved in 4 dismissals, none more key than nailing Labuschagne.  More than anything, he was strutting around the field with a smiling, quiet confidence.  Towards the end of the Aus innings, he was walking around with a special spring in his step, one that announced "I belong on this stage."  

 

More power to the young man.  Indian fast bowling has an excellent legacy now - yes, there's no doubt - here's hoping that Siraj and other youngsters carry the Indian fast bowling torch for many years to come.

On top of that these guys are young. Siraj is 26.

He looked for his debut. Nice smooth run-up and delivery action. He looks quicker than the speed gun says. Was getting good bounce too. Wish him all the best considering the extremely humble backgrounds he has come from.

His bowling  and the shape he gets reminds me of a right handed Amir. I mean the run up,the action and the shape he gets on the ball
