IND vs WI ODI Series: Mohammed Siraj returns to India as part of work-load management; no replacement named
Mohammed Siraj is heading back to India as part of the workload management as he won’t be part of the ODI set-up. Rohit Sharma’s men set to play West Indies in the three-match ODI series starting on Thursday, July 27 will be without the speedster as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wants to give the player a good rest before the World Cup and the Asia Cup. The BCCI won’t be naming a replacement and will return to India with Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat and Navdeep Saini.
Siraj to miss ODI series
The BCCI opted to rest Siraj after the Test series as he was the first-choice bowler after Mohammed Shami. Siraj has been playing consistent cricket in the last few months which has seen him play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Test series. He will now take a rest before the Asia Cup which will start at August end while the team prepares for the ODI World Cup.
Siraj scalped seven wickets in the Test series as spearheaded the bowling attack with Jaydev Unadkat, Mukesh Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin. India won the series 1-0 and started the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle on a high.
The management now wants Siraj to take a rest before a busy few months as India prepare for the Asia Cup and the World Cup. India will also play Australia in a three-match ODI series before the World Cup begins.

Siraj was part of the Indian team in March when they faced Australia and has been a consistent performer for the side. Since 2022, he is India’s highest wicket-taker in the white ball format.
Siraj will be joined on the plane by Ravichandran Ashwin, who is out of favour for the ODI World Cup. India are likely to axe the 2011 World Cup winner in favour of Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel.
The Indian team will begin its World Cup campaign on Sunday, October 8 against Australia while they will kick start their Asia Cup campaign against Pakistan on September 2.
