Mohammed Siraj was one of the best bowlers for India in the test series between India and West Indies. He took 7 wickets in the 2 Test matches played on the West Indies soil, at a phenomenal bowling average of 17.86. This shows that he is going to be the backbone of the Indian pace attack in the future. As part of the world load management, he has been flown back to India. This is certainly a good decision keeping the future of Mohammed Siraj in mind.
In this manner, Siraj flew back with the rest of the returning Test squad. It included Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Navdeep Saini, KS Bharat.

These two tournaments are going to be very important. The performance of the Indian team in the Asia Cup is going to give them confidence for the World Cup.
