WI vs IND 2023: India's predicted playing XI for Test series
India will play a couple of Tests against the West Indies in the Caribbean islands between July 12 to July 25.
10. Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj will spearhead India’s pace attack in the upcoming Test series against the Kraigg Brathwaite-led side. In the WTC 2023 final, Siraj became the most successful bowler for the side, grabbing five wickets against the Aussies. The pacer also took a four-wicket haul in the first innings.
Against the West Indies, Siraj hasn’t played any Tests, and in the upcoming tournament, he will look to be aggressive against the hosts. As Shami has been given a rest for the series, Siraj will look to perform more responsibly in the absence of his senior colleague. The 29-year-old might get the support of experienced Shardul as well.
Bumrah is currently inactive in the international circuit due to fitness issues and the Indian team is desperately searching for a pacer who could serve the team consistently with the ball in the longest form of cricket. Siraj’s performance has been decent in recent years but the speedster still needs to work on a few areas to fulfill his team’s requirements.
