Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has been rested for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has been included in the team for both series in his place. BCCI stated that this decision was taken after discussions with the medical team and team management. This precautionary step has been taken as part of Siraj’s workload management. Siraj notably played 17 matches for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026, as his team finished runners-up. A couple of days after GT’s loss to RCB in the final, Siraj turned up for the Indian Test team, as they defeated Afghanistan in the one-off Test by an innings and 300 runs inside 3 days. Board Said: Siraj needs time for recovery The Board said in its statement that “It is necessary to give Siraj sufficient recovery time before long international matches. Siraj has been one of India’s key fast bowlers in recent months. He has been consistently playing cricket in all three formats.” Prasidh Krishna, included in place of Siraj, has played 5 T20I matches. He has taken 8 wickets while conceding runs at an economy of 11.
