T20 World Cup 2022: BCCI has named Mohammed Shami as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. The tournament will be held from October 16 to November 13. Team India will play two official T20 WC 2022 warm-up games against Australia and New Zealand, before kicking off T20 World Cup 2022 campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 23.
 
Mohammed Shami was named amongst the three-man list of reserve players but has now been drafted into the main squad ahead of the tournament due to Jasprit Bumrah's back injury.

"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Mohammed Shami as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement in India's ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad. Shami has reached Australia and will link up with the squad in Brisbane ahead of the warm-up matches,' BCCI secretary Jay Shah was quoted in a press release.
