The BCCI stated that the decision was taken after discussions between the board's medical team and the Indian team management, with Siraj being advised to take a period of rest ahead of a demanding international calendar.
"Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has been withdrawn from India's squads for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England. 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 board said in an official statement.
