It's a bit of deja vu for India this time around with skipper Rohit Sharma testing positive for Covid-19. The team management is yet to take a final call on his inclusion in the match. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side if Rohit remains unfit.
As India stood on the cusp of a win in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane, Siraj found himself standing behind the boundary rope. And when Rishabh Pant smashed Josh Hazlewood for the match-winning boundary in the Gabba Test to win the series he ran towards the two Indian batsmen at the crease - Pant and Navdeep Saini - to hug them and then took out one stump as a souvenir. He then waved his hands at the crowd. His eyes were moist, a big smile on his face. He looked up to the sky and thanked God and paid a tribute to his father. For the 28-year-old Siraj, who is gearing up for the rescheduled fifth Test against England, starting Friday at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the memories of that historic Australian triumph are still fresh. The Indian pacer now wants to lift another trophy, in England, this time. "India are already leading the Test series and I am sure we will win this series. We want to win this series by winning the fifth Test, not by drawing it. The memories of winning in Australia are still fresh and I want my team to repeat those heroics in England too," Siraj told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview in May this year.
When called up for the recent New Zealand series, Matthew Potts was asked how he would approach a maiden Test appearance that had seemed so unlikely just a few months earlier.

Eddie Jones insists England are ready to hunt down the Wallabies as they prepare for confrontation on and off the pitch during their three-Test tour of Australia.
Jack Leach's Test career thus far has been an exercise in patience and persistence.
England will begin their re-arranged fifth Test against India on Friday morning, with question marks lingering over the heads of several players.
