Bumrah rested for limited-overs games

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection panel on Tuesday, 8 January, named Mohammed Siraj as Bumrah's replacement for the three-match ODI series against Australia and the New Zealand tour to follow.

The selectors have also called up Siddarth Kaul for the three-match Twenty20 International series against New Zealand.

Bumrah was the pick of a strong Indian pace attack in the four-Test series. His 21 wickets came at an average of 17 and strike-rate of 44.9. But with him having sent down 157.1 overs, the most among pacers in either side, the question of workload management came into the picture.

"Keeping in mind the workload of the bowler, it was best felt to give him adequate rest ahead of the home series against Australia," the BCCI said in a release.

Siraj could be in line for his ODI debut, having played just three T20Is for India since his international bow against New Zealand in late 2017. The medium-pacer enjoyed a good run with India A in New Zealand, picking up seven wickets in three first-class games.

Kaul, who has played two T20Is for India so far, also proved himself with India A against New Zealand A. He finished with seven wickets from three List A games then, with a best of 4/37.

India had announced the squads for the limited-overs leg of their tour of Australia and New Zealand last month, with the big change being the return of MS Dhoni.
