In place of the right-arm seamer, the Men's Selection Committee has named Prasidh Krishna as Siraj's replacement for both T20I series.

"Following discussions between the BCCI Medical Team and the Team Management, Siraj has been advised to take 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 statement read.

"The Men's Selection Committee has named Prasidh Krishna as Siraj's replacement for both T20I series," the statement added.

Team India, the reigning ICC Men's T20 World Cup champions, are set to begin a packed white-ball tour featuring Ireland and England, with two T20Is scheduled in Ireland before a full series in England.
