Mohammed Siraj could be just seven Tests old, but former England opener and captain Geoffrey Boycott has been left mighty impressed with the Indian pacer.
Siraj claimed an eight-wicket haul to register career-best figures of 8-126 during India’s 151-run win at Lord’s on Monday. Siraj finished with 4-94 in the first innings and then claimed 4-32 on Day Five to dismantle England for 120, chasing 272.   

Boycott felt the Hyderabadi is an asset for Team India and hoped his aggression will not be curbed. “I like Siraj. He is full of energy. No one should tell him to curb anything. Let him flourish in his own way. He’s an asset for India, although he is fairly new,” Boycott told mid-day from the UK on Wednesday.
