Pa cricket legend Wasim Akram joined in appreciating Siraj’s efforts.“I rarely watch cricket when I’m not working, but I was glued to the last day. Siraj was full of hunger and passion – it was an incredible effort. To bowl nearly 186 overs across five Tests and still be that fiery on the final day shows remarkable stamina and mental strength. He’s not just a support bowler anymore,” Akram said.“He’s leading the attack and doing it with heart. Even when a catch went down– that of (Harry) Brook – he didn’t lose focus. That’s the mark of a fighter. Test cricket is alive and kicking.”
