TIL Desk Sports/ Pacer Mohammed Siraj, who is in Australia with the Indian squad for the upcoming four-Test series, lost his father Mohammed Ghaus on Friday.
Ghaus was only 53 and lost his battle to a lung ailment. Coming from a humble background, Ghouse was instrumental in Siraj’s growth as a cricketer, supporting his son’s ambitions with his limited resources.
“Our heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to Mohammed Siraj & his family, on the loss of his father. The entire RCB family is with you during this difficult time. Stay strong, Miyan,” Siraj’s IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore tweeted.
Siraj won’t return for the last rites in Hyderabad due to quarantine protocols.
