The Indian team is all set to tour Ireland and England for a multi-format white-ball series. It is worth noting that India will face Ireland across two T20I matches, whereas India and England will take on each other across five T20Is and three ODI matches subsequently.
Recently, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) had come forward and announced the squads for the upcoming T20I series, and with the series on the horizon, the board has made a change to the squad, as star pacer Prasidh Krishna has replaced Mohammed Siraj in the squad.
Notably, Siraj has been removed from the squad as a precautionary measure and to better manage his workload. “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,” the BCCI said in a statement..
