Mhambrey said that Mohammed Siraj is the most senior pacer in Team India after Jasprit Bumrah, and he needs to step up and deliver good performances in England, sharing the workload with the pace spearhead Bumrah.
India's pace-bowling unit for the five-match Test series against the Three Lions consists of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, as well as two pace-bowling all-rounders, Shardul Thakur and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Paras Mhambrey was asked whether the current Indian bowling line-up is capable of picking 20 wickets without Bumrah. He replied:
Notably, Mohammed Shami is not part of India’s squad for the England tour because of his fitness issues. During the squad announcement, the BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar had revealed that the pacer was not deemed fit enough to withstand the demands of red-ball cricket.
The second best from here is Mohammed Siraj - Paras Mhambrey
"The second best from here is Mohammed Siraj. He has played 35 (36) Tests. He (Mohammed Siraj) needs to share the workload with Bumrah. The expectation shouldn't be that only Bumrah will go out and deliver for you. Siraj needs to shoulder that responsibility and do the job for the team because he is the senior-most after Bumrah out here.
Knowing Bumrah, he is very straightforward - Paras Mhambrey
Paras Mhambrey was further asked if the appointment of Shubman Gill as Test skipper over Jasprit Bumrah took him by surprise. He replied that the BCCI would have discussed the leadership role with Bumrah and, after taking all things into consideration, they took a different route and handed the captaincy to Gill. Paras Mhambrey elaborated:
"Now we know that Bumrah is only fit to play three Tests, so they didn't want to be in a situation where they had two different captains in a big series. Knowing Bumrah, he is very straightforward. He will take everything into consideration in terms of the team first. That's his approach."
