The Indian fast bowler Siraj has been appointed to lead the Hyderabad side in the opening two matches of the upcoming Ranji Trophy season.
Timing of Siraj’s Domestic Return
Siraj will link up with his state team only after completing his commitments with the Indian side during the series against West Indies scheduled for September and October.
This arrangement allows the pacer to fulfill national duties first before taking charge of Hyderabad in the domestic competition.
Hyderabad’s Early Season Leadership
The decision means Siraj will be at the helm for Hyderabad’s initial Ranji Trophy fixtures once he returns from the international assignment.
His presence is expected to provide guidance to the domestic unit during those early encounters.
Siraj will join his domestic side after playing for India against West Indies in September-October.
The schedule aligns the fast bowler’s availability directly with the conclusion of the West Indies series, ensuring he misses no national matches.
