Deepak Chahar, an Indian fast bowler, has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2022, which means he will not travel to Australia. The India fast bowler had already been ruled out of the three-match ODI series after injuring his ankle. He was picked the reserve player for the crucial tournament, which begins on October 16 in Australia.
Chahar has been in fantastic form since his comeback to cricket in Zimbabwe. He was also included to the Australia-bound team as a reserve player. Now that he has been ruled out, Shardul Thakur has taken his position in the team.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Thakur will go for Australia on Thursday, October 13. The three pacers will join the group, which is presently preparing in Perth ahead of the T20 World Cup.
As of now, Mohammed Shami has been named as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement in the T20 World Cup roster, but he must pass a fitness test at the NCA Bengaluru. Furthermore, Siraj demonstrated his worth in the just finished ODI series against South Africa, where he played a significant role.
As of now, Mohammed Shami will take Jasprit Bumrah's position in the T20 World Cup team after passing a fitness test at the NCA Bengaluru. Furthermore, Siraj demonstrated his importance in the just finished ODI series against South Africa, when he played a critical part in India's three-match series victory.
Chahar, who was among the stand-by players, was anticipated to make the main team in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, but his back issue is expected to take some time to recover.
"It will take some time for Deepak to get into shape." His back problem has resurfaced. His ankle is OK, and there was no trouble there. As a result, the BCCI is sending three reinforcements. Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Shardul Thakur.
Chahar had played in the T20 series against South Africa but was forced to miss the ODI series due to a back injury. He reported to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for rehabilitation.
Because the team has till October 15 to name Jasprit Bumrah's replacement, the team management has time to assess the form and fitness of all three pacers.
Their prompt arrival in Australia will also allow them to acclimate to the conditions down under. If their services are necessary, they will be prepared for the competition.
Shami leads the race with his artistry and experience, although Siraj was outstanding in the just finished ODI series against South Africa, when he was named Player of the Series. Siraj collected five wickets in three games, including three in the Ranchi ODI.
Shardul with his all-round abilities will provide cover for Hardik Pandya, although he will most likely be on the bench.
