Despite his father’s demise bowler Mohammad Siraj stays in Australia

Going into the series against Australia, India pacer Mohammad Siraj has said that he aims to fulfill his father’s dream of playing for the country. Siraj’s father passed away on Friday, but the pacer who has earned his first Test call-up decided to stay back in Australia and not return home.

“It is a very big loss for me, my father always supported me. It was his dream that I keep on playing for India and make the country proud. I just want to fulfill my father’s dream and that is why I keep on thinking that my father will always be there with me,” Siraj told BCCI.TV. “In this situation, every team member has supported me and it really felt nice. Virat Bhai also told me not to worry and he asked me to stay strong. I talked to my mother and she told me to stay back in Australia and fulfill my father’s dream,” he added.
