Siraj was not named in the limited-overs squads for the nearly two-month long tour of Australia but the 26-year-old was picked for the four-match Test series, scheduled to begin next month.Â
The Hyderabad-born pacer played nine matches for RCB in the recently-concluded IPL and picked up 11 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 8.68.
His best performance in the T20 league came against two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders, when Siraj returned with figures of three for eight from his quota of four overs.
India are slated to play three One-Day Internationals, as many Twenty20 Internationals and four Test matches in Australia.Â
The tour will kick off with the ODI series, starting November 27 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
