Siraj has been one of India’s most heavily utilised fast bowlers across formats in recent years and is expected to play a key role in the team’s plans moving forward. However, the management has opted not to risk overburdening him at this moment.
To fill the vacancy, the Men’s Selection Committee has drafted in his IPL teammate, Prasidh Krishna. He picked 16 wickets in 12 matches for GT this season.

Shreyas Iyer, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Prasidh Krishna
The Men in Blue will be led by Shreyas Iyer on these tours, who replaces Suryakumar Yadav in the role.
