3 Pacers who are prospective injury replacements for Team India during Australia Tests
Indian pace attack has a history of being prone to injuries during big tours and these talents could come in handy.
3. Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj, unlike the other two bowlers, has had the privilege of playing for India a few times, although just in T20Is. The 24-year-old, who plays for Hyderabad in the domestic circuit, has been a star performer for his team at the first-class level. He has rattled the stumps of some of the biggest names in Indian domestic cricket and impressed the selectors of the national side.
Siraj is just 22-matches-old at the first-class level but has already taken over 100 wickets. His average, that is 19.59, says a lot about the quality of this young pacer. He, unlike the other two, can bowl at over 140 kilometres per hour consistently. The right-armer has taken ten four-wicket hauls and four five-wicket hauls so far. He also has two ten-wicket matches to his name. These numbers, apart from having a great impression on the fans, have got everything in them to knock the selectors’ doors off their hinges.
