NEW DELHI, Aug 6:
Mohammed Siraj is in the same league as premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and it is important to manage his workload carefully to keep him injury-free, said former Indian fast bowler RP Singh.
Siraj bowled 185.3 overs in the recently-concluded five-match Test series in England and finished as the highest wicket-taker with 23 wickets, emerging as the most utilised bowler in the series.
The 31-year-old from Hyderabad claimed nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings of the fifth Test, playing a key role in India’s six-run victory that helped the visitors level the series 2-2.
“Workload management will be crucial to prevent Siraj from getting injured in the future,” Singh said in an interview with PTI-Bhasha.
“Fast bowlers are at higher risk of injury when they play too many matches in a short time. His workload should be managed just like we did with Bumrah.” (PTI)
