India vs England: Mohammed Siraj rested from second Test to manage workload

NEW DELHI: Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has been given a break for the second Test against England in Vizag in a strategic move by the Indian team management. The decision was announced on Friday, considering Siraj's heavy workload over the past few months.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a statement saying, "Mohd. Siraj has been released from the India squad for the second Test against England in Vizag. The decision was taken keeping in mind the duration of the series and the amount of cricket he has played in recent times. He will be available for selection for the third Test in Rajkot.
