Siraj to return for the IND vs ENG 3rd Test
Mohammed Siraj has been excluded from the Indian team for the second Test against England in Vizag due to concerns over the length of the series and the amount of cricket he has played recently. This decision indicates team management’s assessment of player workload and the importance of proper rest to sustain peak performance. Siraj’s omission from the starting XI gives him time to rest and prepare, guaranteeing he is eligible for selection in the third Test in Rajkot.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has prioritised its players’ well-being and physical condition despite their hectic schedule, displaying a commitment to regulating player fatigue and guaranteeing consistent performance levels throughout the series. Additionally, Avesh Khan has returned to the team for the second Test, offering an alternate option within the squad.
