Shami will play in World Cup instead of injured Bumrah, BCCI confirms

The BCCI has now confirmed that Mohammed Shami will replace Jasprit Bumrah in the T20 World Cup. Bumrah has been ruled out of the entire World Cup due to a back injury. It was forecasted by some Cricket Experts that Shami will be replacing Bumrah and now it has been confirmed. The BCCI official said this on the condition of anonymity. The reason for Shami getting a chance is being told that Australia's pitch seam and bounce. The BCCI on Friday confirmed Shami's inclusion in the World Cup squad.

Apart from Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj has also been included in Team India for the World Cup. However, he will remain as a reserve player. Siraj has bowled brilliantly in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. It is becoming difficult for the batsmen to score runs against Siraj in the death overs. That's why he got a place on the team.

Since the announcement of the team for the T20 World Cup, the tension of Team India is increasing continuously. First Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the World Cup due to injury and was not included in the squad, then Deepak Hooda also suffered an injury, due to which he was ruled out of the T20 series against South Africa. However, now he is seen playing in practice matches. India's trouble in the World Cup has increased due to the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
