Team India’s preparation for the highly-anticipated T20 World Cup is in full swing. The marquee ICC competition is set to take place in Australia, with the tournament-opener scheduled on October 16. The tournament will be played in a 1 month window. The grand finale is set to occur on November 13.
India had an unimpressive outing in the last T20 World Cup, which took place last year in UAE. The team is desperate to achieve success in the marquee ICC event as it has been a long wait for an ICC trophy. The Indian team last clinched an ICC title back in 2013, which was almost a decade ago.
Jasprit Bumrah to miss out the mega event:
What comes up as an significant development from the Indian camp is that their premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the remainder of the South Africa series, as well as the all-important T20 World Cup. The Press Trust of India has confirmed the update in one of their recent articles. A stress fracture in the back is reported to be the reason.
It is unquestionably a big blow for the Indian team and will certainly be a big concern for the Rohit Sharma-led team management. Bumrah leads India’s bowling attack across all three formats and his absence directly reduces India’s chances of getting their hands on that all-important trophy in Australia.
T20I World cup 2022 Jasprit Bumrah Injured Players who can replace
Multiple credible reports back Mohammed Shami or Deepak Chahar to be the possible replacement of Jasprit Bumrah for the T20 World Cup 2022. The names of young fast bowlers namely Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik are also being floated around, but they are are unlikely to make the cut.
Mohammad Shami and Deepak Chahar are part of the Indian team in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa. Both the names were part of the standby list for the T20 World Cup along with Ravi Bishnoi. Shami is widely experienced, which might eventually help him to make it into the squad as Bumrah’s replacement.
