T20 World Cup 2022: India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh make last-minute changes
In India's T20 World Cup roster, fast bowler Mohammed Shami has replaced the injured Jasprit Bumrah, while Bangladesh and Pakistan have made last-minute changes
Mohammed Shami has arrived in Australia, where he will join the Indian team for two warm-up games against Australia and New Zealand next week.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead India's pace attack, with Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, and the allrounder Hardik Pandya.
Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the event earlier this month due to a back issue.
India will begin their World Cup campaign against archrival Pakistan on October 23 in Melbourne, and its group will also include South Africa, Bangladesh, and two qualifiers.
Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj have been designated as reserves, and the BCCI has stated that both will travel to Australia soon.
Pakistan has elevated Fakhar Zaman to the 15-man team in place of injured leg-spinner Usman Qadir.
Fakhar recovered from a knee injury in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka last month.
Bangladesh has made two changes after going winless in a T20 tri-series against Pakistan and hosts New Zealand. Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam have been promoted to the 15-man roster.
They take the place of Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin, who were demoted to the reserve list due to poor form before their trip to Australia for next week's warm-ups.
