On Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that experienced bowler Mohammed Shami will replace the injured Jasprit Bumrah in India’s roster for the T20 World Cup 2022, which begins on October 16.
The BCCI was yet to name a substitute player for the injured Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out of the forthcoming major event owing to a back ailment, therefore just 14 players flew to Australia.

In the month preceding up to the World Cup, the Indian team’s management had suffered a series of setbacks. The all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was the first to be ruled out due to a knee ailment. Bumrah’s back issue was discovered just a few weeks before the team’s departure for Australia.
Notably, Bumrah missed the Asia Cup in the UAE in September owing to a back issue. The BCCI decided to rest Bumrah from the continental event as a precaution.

Shami is the good replacement for India in this T20WC but he played last T20I in last year T20WC against Namibia. No idea about his current form #T20WorldCup #T20WorldCup2022 #BCCI #Shami

What a terrible situation India has been in. #Shami had to be chosen without being played a single match after returning from injury. And most probably he'll have to be chosen in the XI too. #IndianSquad #Shami #WCT20 https://t.co/bcdTuVVGTx
