The three-match T20 series between India and South Africa will kick off on September 28. There may be a big change in the India team for this series. Star fast bowler Umran Malik’s chances of returning to the India team for the series against South Africa have increased significantly. It is not yet decided if Mohammed Shami will be able to be part of the series against South Africa or not.
In fact, Mohammed Shami was selected for the T20 series against Australia and South Africa. But just before the series against Australia, Mohammed Shami was found to be corona positive. For this reason, Shami was left out of the three match T20 series.
Mohammed Shami was expected to be fit by the time the T20 series against South Africa began. But this has not happened. The possibility of Mohammed Shami being left out of the T20 series against South Africa has increased.
Umesh Yadav was selected as Shami’s replacement in the series against Australia. But Umesh Yadav had the opportunity to play the first T20 alone and failed to impress in it. Now Umran Malik has been kept as stand boy for the series against South Africa and he is likely to be selected in the squad.
Let us tell you that Umran Malik got a chance to debut for the India team after a brilliant performance in the IPL this year. Umran played three T20 matches for India. However, he was dropped from the team after the tour of England due to the high financial rate.
