Star Indian players Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja pull out of Duleep Trophy, BCCI announces major changes

The upcoming edition of the Duleep Trophy will be a starry affair with India’s Test players featuring in the tournament. However, the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja and Umran Malik will miss the competition for different reasons and the selection committee has made adjustments to different squads accordingly.

Siraj and Umran have been ruled out due to illness (not specifically mentioned in the BCCI press release) and are not expected to regain their fitness in time. This is also a blow for team India with Siraj being one of the key members of the bowling attack. India is scheduled to resume international cricket from September 19 in a Test series against Bangladesh and Siraj will be running against time to be available for the contest.

Navdeep Saini has been named Siraj’s replacement in the Team B squad for the Duleep Trophy while Gaurav Yadav will replace Umran in the Team C squad. Meanwhile, India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also been released from the Team B squad but the selectors have opted to not name any replacement for him.
