Siraj was given the opportunity Down Under with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, and Umesh Yadav, all being injured. Saba Karim further explained why Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri believe Siraj is the ideal player to bowl against New Zealand batters. "At the moment, the New Zealand team has four left-handers - Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, and Mitchell Santner. I feel if we compare our four frontline pace bowlers, Mohammed Siraj probably bowls the best against left-handers. That is why I feel Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri believe it will be ideal to play Mohammed Siraj," Karim said.
