Mohammed Siraj made his ODI debut in January 2019 in a match against Australia in Adelaide, a game in which he was again hammered for 76 runs in 10 overs and failed to claim a wicket. By the time he played his first Test against Australia in Melbourne during the famous 2020-21 series, the right-arm pacer was a much-improved bowler.
