The legendary Indian batter also believes that Siraj would benefit from being dropped rather than given a "rest," as resting him could send the wrong signals to others about their place in the squad.
Sunil Gavaskar was quoted as saying by Star Sports: “I think Siraj, perhaps, needs a little bit of a break. In the sense that I am not saying a break, he needs to be told that he is left out of the team for non-performance. There has to be a situation where you can’t beat around the bush.

Gavaskar signed off by saying, “If you want to make two changes. Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana to support Jasprit Bumrah. By all means, do that.”
