On Friday, Siraj was named in India's 15-man squad for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, starting October 16.
Siraj is one the three pacers in the squad, along side Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah, who was appointed vice-captain of the Test team.
Siraj gained prominance after helping India beat Australia 2-1 in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21.
Siraj made his Test debut during the tour after several senior members of the team missed out due to injury.
He is likely to be part of India's squad when the Rohit Sharma-led side travel to Australia later this year to play five Tests Down Under.
India captain Rohit will reportedly miss one of the first two Tests due to personal reasons.
In his absence, Bumrah could lead the team following his elevation as vice-captain of the Test team.
India's squad for the three Tests against New Zealand: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep
Travelling Reserves: Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna
