India pacer Mohammed Siraj has been withdrawn from the squads for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England, with selectors citing workload management and fitness concerns.
Siraj, who has been a key figure in India’s pace attack, will miss the short-format assignments as part of the team’s rotation policy to keep fast bowlers fresh ahead of major tournaments.
The decision comes after a busy season where Siraj featured prominently in the IPL and international fixtures, prompting the management to prioritize his long-term fitness.
India’s selectors are expected to announce replacements soon, ensuring balance in the pace department for the overseas series.
Siraj’s absence will be felt, but officials emphasized that the move is aimed at sustaining his performance levels and preventing injury risks.
