Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj In Line To Replace Injured Jasprit Bumrah In T20 World Cup Squad
New Delhi: Indian pacers Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are likely to replace injured Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian cricket team for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. The star Indian bowler has reportedly been ruled out of the tournament due to a back stress fracture that will take at least 4-6 months to heal.
The only relief for Team India and Jasprit Bumrah is that he does not have to undergo any kind of surgery to heal the fracture. According to sources close to PTI, Jasprit Bumrah will be out of action for four to six months.

This is a big blow to India’s chances in the upcoming T20 World Cup and with Ravindra Jadeja already out of the tournament for the Rohit-Sharma-led side, India will now have to reassess their plan for the big tournament.
BCCI now might choose either Mohammed Shami or Mohammed Siraj as the replacement of Jasprit Bumrah. Mohammed Shami is already on the standby list for the T20 World Cup, while Mohammed Siraj’s good performance in the recent time makes him an ideal replacement.
Deepak Chahar can also be an option as he is on the standby list as well. Indian cricket fans are not happy with Jasprit Bumrah’s injury. See reaction:

No need for sudden inclusion,team should back the bowlers whom they’re carrying in XI for long i.e Bhuvi Arshdeep Chahar Harshal & Hardik.
It’s T20 & any bowler can edge in this format.— ᴩʀᴀᴛɪᴋꜱʜᴀ ᴩᴀɴᴅᴇy (@pratiksha12_) September 29, 2022
