IND vs SA LIVE: Mohammed Siraj joins Team India squad, replaces injured Jasprit Bumrah for remaining 2 T20Is vs South Africa: Follow LIVE UPDATES
What is the status with Mohammed Shami? Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of T20 World Cup has created a huge crisis in Team India. The selectors do not have many options on the bench to replace the star player. Siraj is called for the tow remaining T20’s because standby Mohammad Shami is still not available.
Shami though is the frontrunner to be picked in 15 as replacement for Bumrah provided he proves his fitness. Considering he is recovering from Covid-19 and hasn’t played any T20s since IPL 2022, the selectors are likely to include him in the ODI squad for the South Africa series, starting October 6.
“Shami has just tested negative. He will get the required tests done and report to the NCA. Yes, he hasn’t played any games and that is a concern. He needs to be match ready. It’s up to the selectors whether they want him to play in the ODI series and get ready for Australia,”</stro
