Indian team's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj will not be seen playing in the ODI series against West Indies. Because he is returning to India, although earlier he was selected for the ODI series only, now he has been kept out of this end. The news of Mohammad Siraj's exclusion from the ODI series is not a matter of concern as the team management has taken this decision only for the purpose of giving him rest. The news is coming that after being rested from the ODI series, Mohammad Siraj will now return straight to India. He is set to return to India along with his other Test teammates including Ashwini and Ajinkya Rahane and Navdeep Saini as well as KS Bharat.
