Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is not a part of the Asia Cup 2025, but during this time a big achievement has been added to his name. Siraj has been chosen by the ICC as the player of the month of the month of August. Interestingly, he has won this award on the basis of just one match. At the same time, Ireland player Orla Presargest has been chosen as Player of the Month in women’s cricket.
Showed in the oval test
Siraj’s performance in the Oval Test played between India and England proved to be the turning point of the match. India was in dire need of victory in the last match of the series and Siraj took a total of 9 wickets in both innings, doing amazing with the ball. On the basis of his bowling, India defeated England by 6 runs and the series ended at 2–2.
Siraj’s sharp bowling did not survive the big batsman of England. He took wickets at an average of 21 and took the team out of the difficult situation several times. This is the reason that the ICC has chosen him the best player of August in view of his brilliant performance.
India’s most successful bowlers in the series
Siraj proved to be India’s most trusted bowler not only in the Oval Test but in the entire England series. He played all five Test matches and took 23 wickets. Twice he took five wickets and four wickets to take four wickets. The Indian bowling attack was also led in this Test series in Siraj.
The effect of Siraj’s bowling was that India was successful in winning the match even in a difficult situation. His spells on England’s soil were well appreciated by cricket experts and veterans.
In the Race of the ICC Awards, Siraj won the award by leaving behind New Zealand’s Matt Henry and West Indies Jayed Syels.
Siraj expressed happiness
After receiving the award, Mohammad Siraj gave his response and said that this honor is very special for him. He said, “Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has been one of the most exciting series of my career. It was challenging to bowl against the top batsmen under England’s circumstances, but I made it an inspiration for myself. This award is my hard work as well as the team’s support staff and fellow players. I will try my best to give my best for India.”
Not in Asia Cup, but Siraj in headlines
Even though Siraj is not part of the team of Asia Cup 2025, his name is most discussed in the cricket world at this time. The strong performance shown in the same Test match gave him a big ICC Award and proved that he can become a gamechanger for India on any platform when he gets a chance.
