ICC T20 World Cup 2022: BCCI Finally Announced Jasprit Bumrah’s Replacement In India’s Squad

India’s experienced bowler Mohammed Shami has replaced injured Jasprit Bumrah in the 15-member Indian cricket squad for the T20 World Cup 2022, which is all set to start on October 16 in Australia. Shami was initially named in the standby list for the T20 World Cup squad however stress-related injury on his back ruled Bumrah out of the mega event, which eventually opened the doors for the veteran pacer. 

Besides him, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur have been named as backups and will be traveling to Australia shortly. Deepak Chahar was also in the race to replace Bumrah however he was ruled out because of injury. 

 “The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Mohammed Shami as Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement in India’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. Shami has reached Australia and will link up with the squad in Brisbane ahead of the warm-up matches,” BCCI said in a release.

“Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur have been named as backups and will travel to Australia shortly.”

Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team will kickstart their T20 World Cup campaign on October 23 with a match against arch-rivals Pakistan.

Talking about Mohammed Shami, he had last played in T20 Internationals during the last edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE. He was supposed to play in the six T20Is at home against Australia and South Africa however he was ruled after testing positive for COVID-19. He had to prove his fitness before NCA finally approved his trip to Australia. 

Revised India squad for ICC T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.
