Mohammed Siraj Emotional: Mohammad Siraj is almost certain to play his first Test against England in Hyderabad. Siraj is one of the main pacers included in the squad. Before playing the Test at home ground, Siraj became emotional remembering his father. He said that it was his father's dream to see him play for India.
