Big news has emerged about the India squad ahead of next month’s T20 World Cup in Australia. Star fast bowlers Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik may head to Australia with the India team for the T20 World Cup. In view of Jasprit Bumrah’s physical condition, the BCCI plans to send these two players to Australia.
According to the latest update released by the BCCI, Jasprit Bumrah has not been out of the World Cup. However, Jasprit Bumrah’s back pain problem is serious. In view of Bumrah’s importance, BCCI wants to take more time to replace him.
BCCI can now send Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik to Australia as backup players. Mohammed Shami has already been kept in the reserve players for the World Cup. In the case of Bumrah’s exit from the World Cup, who can be included in the 15-member squad, Mohammed Shami or Mohammad Siraj?
Siraj’s chances of being included in the 15-man squad have increased as he has been included in the squad as a replacement for Bumrah in both T20Is against South Africa. Mohammed Shami was part of the T20 series squad against South Africa. But he got out of the series for being corona positive.
Mohammed Shami may be asked to play a three-match ODI series against South Africa before being selected for the T20 World Cup. If Mohammed Shami can prove his fitness and form in the ODI series, then Shami can earn a place in the 15-man World Cup squad as Bumrah’s replacement.
