Debjit Mukherjee: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Friday that veteran pacer Mohammed Shami will replace injured Jasprit Bumrah in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2022, set to begin on October 16. Shami was initially named amongst the three-man list of reserve players but has now been drafted into the main squad ahead of the tournament.
After Deepak Chahar was ruled out due to injury, India have named two players – Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur – in the reserves alongside Shreyas Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi. The three players have already flown to Australia and have linked up with the squad.
