IPL 2025: Focused on my bowling and fitness during break - Mohd Siraj

India pacer Mohammed Siraj said on Wednesday that his break from international cricket gave him the time to reflect on his mistakes and work on his bowling and fitness. Following a lacklustre Test tour of Australia earlier this year, Siraj was left out of India's Champions Trophy squad. "I was playing matches consistently, so was not realising the mistakes I was making. In the break, focused on my bowling, on my fitness," Siraj said at the presentation ceremony after Gujarat Titans' eight-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL here. After linking up with the Gujarat Titans squad, the 31-year-old also sought advice from former India pacer and GT coach Ashish Nehra. "When I joined GT, I spoke to Ashu bhai and the ball is coming out nicely now. He asked me to just enjoy myself and do whatever I wanted. "I talk to them (Rabada, Ishant and other bowling partners) and get feedback which is really helpful. As a bowler, I want to always have belief - that is an importa

IPL 2025: It will help reverse swing - Siraj backs lifting of saliva ban

India pacer Mohammed Siraj on Thursday wholeheartedly welcomed the BCCI's decision to lift the saliva ban ahead of IPL 2025, saying it will help the bowlers find reverse swing even in benign conditions. The BCCI removed the ban on use of saliva on the cricket ball after a majority of the team captains agreed to its proposal, making it the first major competition to do away with the restriction that was a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's very good for bowlers. It's excellent news for us bowlers because when the ball is not doing anything, applying saliva on the ball will increase the chances of finding some reverse swing, Siraj, who has joined Gujarat Titans this season, told PTI. It sometimes aids reverse swing because scrubbing the ball against the shirt will not help (to get reverse swing). But using saliva on the ball will help in maintaining (the shine on one side), and it is important, he added. Excited to play under Gill ================ Siraj, who was released b
