Workload Management Will Be Crucial to Prevent Siraj From Getting Injured in the Future: RP Singh
ENGLAND, AUG 6 – Former pacer RP Singh highlighted Siraj's 23 wickets in the England Test series and stressed managing his workload like Bumrah's to prevent injury and maintain performance.
- Mohammed Siraj played all five Tests in the recently concluded England series, bowling 185.3 overs, taking 23 wickets, and helping India level the series 2-2 with a six-run win in the fifth Test.
- Ex-Indian pacer RP Singh highlighted that Mohammed Siraj’s consistent high-energy performance throughout the series reflects his rise to join Jasprit Bumrah’s level, emphasizing the need for careful management of Siraj’s bowling workload to prevent potential injuries.

- Singh emphasized that Bumrah's success in ODI and T20 World Cups was supported by workload management and highlighted Siraj as a lead fast bowler when Bumrah is absent, describing their partnership as special and effective.
