India head coach Ravi Shastri on Friday described rookie pacer Mohammed Siraj as the find of the Australia tour.

Siraj could not return to India after his father died barely a week after he landed in Australia with the Indian team in November last year. He also faced racial abuse from a section of the crowd in Sydney during the third Test. Despite all this, Siraj finished the series with 13 wickets—the most by any Indian bowler.
