Duleep Trophy 2024: Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik Ruled Out, Ravindra Jadeja Given Extended Break

Seamer Mohammed Siraj will miss the Duleep Trophy's first round games due to illness while veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been allowed an extended period of rest by the BCCI's national selection committee, which announced a few changes to the participating squads on Tuesday. The first round of the Duleep Trophy will be played simultaneously in Anantapur and Bengaluru from September 5.

Siraj, who was a part of India's last away assignment in Sri Lanka, along with Umran Malik have both been ruled out of the first round games and have been replaced by Navdeep Saini and Gaurav Yadav respectively.

"Both Siraj and Malik are suffering from an illness and are not expected to be fit in time for their Duleep Trophy fixtures," the BCCI informed in a release.

"All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also been released from the Team B squad," the board added. Jadeja was last seen in action in the T20 World Cup final in June against South Africa and was rested from the ODI series in Sri Lanka.
