Shami said this about Siraj's form

Regarding Siraj's form, Shami said in an interview, “It is not that Siraj is new. He has a lot of experience. Many times we did not get what we wanted from the bowlers. I think he is going through a phase where things are not going in his favor. His balls were not caught. Sometimes luck favors the batsman.

'Need to focus on basics'

While giving advice to Siraj, he said, “This stage comes in everyone's career. I think they don't need to be disappointed. They have to focus on their basics. He has to choose the place and the ball.
