Mohammed Siraj brushes aside workload management chatter, Indian pacer says ‘Would have played one more Test…’

Workload management has emerged as an important aspect in Indian cricket in recent years, especially for the fast bowlers. The decision on whether he should play a certain series or a set of games in a series or tournaments often depends of that cricketer’s workload with Jasprit Bumrah being the prominent example of this practice in recent times.

During India’s recent tour of England, Bumrah played thrre games, due to his workload management, including the all-important fifth and final Test. Siraj, who took nine wickets in that very game to help India win by six runs and level the series 2-2, brushed aside workload management chatter, stating he would played one more Test had it been there in the series.

“As for my body being tired, to be honest, I would have played one more Test if it was there. I didn’t feel tired. But I was in a zone. When you enter that zone, you don’t know what you are doing, but just have that feeling that I have to do something here,” Siraj told The Indian Express recently.
