Mohammed Siraj can replace Jasprit Bumrah in India’s T20 World Cup squad

Jasprit Bumrah, to the great regret of the fans of the India national group, will not be able to help his club at the World Cup in Australia. The Indian Cricket Council has not yet decided who will replace Jasprit in the squad. Many believe that Mohammed Shami will be most likely to replace him. However, Indian ex-player Sanjay Manjrekar considers that Mohammed Siraj can replace Jasprit Bumrah in India’s T20 World Cup squad.

Sanjay noted that Shami continues to be the most likely option for BCCI selectors. But Siraj’s good form may be the reason that the choice will be made in his favor.

“Siraj makes Shami a severe competition for a place in the squad. Bumrah is a significant player for India, but the reality is that he needs to be replaced as efficiently as possible. Shami is the most likely option, but Siraj is so good that BCCI can take a risk,” Sanjay Manjrekar said.

Recall that India will hold its first contest at the T20 World Cup in Australia on October 23. The opponent will be Pakistan.
