Indian team may get a big shock before the IND vs AFG test, this fast bowler may be out of the team.
A big challenge has come before the Indian team before the one-off Test match to be played against Afghanistan from June 6 at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. In fact, clouds of doubt are looming over the participation of the team’s star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj in this important match, which has increased the concern of the Indian team. This is the only test, so the team would not like to miss any player.
Actually, Jasprit Bumrah has not been made a part of the team for this test, so the main responsibility of the fast bowling attack was on Mohammad Siraj. In such a situation, the possible absence of Siraj can prove to be a big blow for the team. The team management may now have to look for a stronger option, who can challenge the Afghanistan batsmen and provide strength to the Indian bowling.
Mohammed Siraj is under the strict supervision of the medical team
According to media reports, Mohammad Siraj has reached Chandigarh with the team, but he is currently under the strict supervision of the medical team. The final decision will be taken within the next two days after a thorough discussion regarding his physical fitness and his workload. Mohammad Siraj has been continuously showcasing his skills in the Indian Premier League for the last two months. He played all 17 matches for Gujarat Titans this season, including the final. Due to playing so much cricket continuously, the team management is avoiding taking any kind of risk regarding his health, so that he remains completely fit for the upcoming important matches and can provide his services to the team.
These players may get a chance
On the other hand, if Mohammed Siraj is not able to play in this important Test match, then it will become a golden opportunity for other young and talented bowlers to make their place in the Indian team and make their debut. According to the current information, Aaqib Nabi can be included in the team, who is currently associated with the team as a net bowler. Along with this, Punjab’s young fast bowler Gurnoor Brar also has a strong possibility of getting an opportunity to make his Test debut. Aaqib Nabi is also one of the names who may get a chance to play international Test cricket for the first time, if Siraj is not available.
Let us tell you that Aaqib Nabi performed brilliantly in the last season of Ranji Trophy and took the maximum of sixty wickets. After his impressive performance, it was widely believed that he would definitely get a place in the Test team. Although, he was not made a part of the main team, but due to his talent he remains with the team as a net bowler. Now it will be interesting to see what decision the Indian team management takes regarding the fitness of Mohammad Siraj.
