Star pacer Mohammed Siraj has been ruled out of India’s upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England, despite being included in the original 16-player squad captained by Shreyas Iyer. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the development on Tuesday (Jun 9), stating that the call was made after discussions involving the medical staff and team management.
Pacer Prasidh Krishna has been included into the squad as Siraj’s replacement. According to the BCCI, Siraj has been advised to take a break as a part of a workload management plan.
“Following discussions between the BCCI Medical Team and the team management, Siraj has been advised a period of rest as part of his workload management programme. The decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure adequate recovery ahead of a long international season," BCCI said in a statement.
India will first face Ireland in two T20Is on Jun 26 and Jun 28 before beginning a five-match series against England on Jul 1 in Chester-le-Street.
