Jasprit Bumrah had missed the Asia Cup as well because of a back injury. He last played for India in the 3rd T20I against Australia on September 25. Although he was named in the squad for the T20I series against South Africa, Bumrah did not take the field for the 1st T20I at Thiruvananthapuram. Mohammed Siraj has been named as Bumrah’s replacement in India’s T20I squad for the remainder of the series against the Proteas.
It will be interesting to see who will replace Bumrah in the Indian team for the all-important T20 World Cup. The likes of Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Shami are being touted as potential replacements of Jasprit Bumrah.
