IND vs SA 2022 This inclusion makes close to zero sense - Twitterati caught in two minds as Mohammed Siraj replaces Jasprit Bumrah in India s squad
By
Gokul Nair Modified 30 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Mohammed Siraj last played a T20I seven months ago The Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Mohammed Siraj as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement for the remainder of the three-T20I series against South Africa. Bumrah is currently in Bangalore undergoing scans to assess the severity of a reported back stress fracture, which potentially rules him out of T20 World Cup 2022 as well. With Bumrah ruled out of the ongoing series against South Africa, India only have Umesh Yadav on the sidelines as a backup pacer.

Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are completing their rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), forcing the management to name a replacement for the injured Bumrah. Siraj last played a T20I in February 2022 during the home series against West Indies. While he made his debut in 2017, the right-arm pacer has only featured in five T20Is to date.

He has claimed five wickets so far with an economy of 10.45. A poor Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign meant that Siraj was not considered for selection in the shortest format for India. Another viable candidate emerged in the form of Mohammed Shami.

However, with the pacer having only recently recovered from COVID-19, he is likely to report to the NCA to assess his fitness first. The right-arm pacer missed the three-match series against Australia due to the infection and was even ruled out of the T20Is against the Proteas, with Umesh Yadav being named as the replacement.

The verdict on the replacement was highly divided on Twitter. Here are a few reactions:
Vyom Nanavati@vyom_nanavatiThis siraj inclusion makes close to 0 sense from a planning and management POV. Shami who had covid has tested negative as per various news reports - so why is Shami not just brought back into the squad.

With Bhuvi, Arshdeep & Harshal in the squad, India need someone who bowls 140+ in their line-up. Feel it could be toss-up between Avesh, Siraj or Shami. Avesh has played regularly in the recent past.944Bumrah's injury is a big blow for Team India.

BCCI selectors again done a great mess by choosing a run machine bowler MD Siraj instead of an experienced and talented Shami. And this kind of mess will cost us huge loss in the world cup. Ashish Nair@ashish_nair12@gurkiratsgill Siraj I feel is a better T20 bowler than Shami.
