Following this, the last two matches will be held on October 2 and 4. After the series, all the Indian players in the T20 World Cup will leave for Australia on October 6.
No Bumrah, Jadeja:
India’s main all-rounder Jadeja and main fast bowler Bumrah are away, so the Indian team is going to leave for Aussie with a weakness in bowling. Axar Patel has been included as a replacement for Jadeja. However, it is Bumrah who lacks a suitable replacement in the team. Siraj has been included as Bumrah’s replacement for the last 2 T20Is against South Africa.
Chances for Shami:
In this case, it has been reported that BCCI wants to give Mohammed Shami a chance to replace Bumrah in the T20 World Cup series. The problem here is that Shami is not as good a bowler as Bumrah and Shami has not featured in the Indian T20 team since the last T20 World Cup. It is said that the BCCI has decided to rectify these grievances.
ODI Series:
While Shami was included in the Aussie and South African T20I series, he could not participate due to Corona. In such a situation, giving Shami a chance in the T20 World Cup directly is a risk. As a result, information has been leaked that BCCI is planning to make Shami play in the ODI series against South Africa on October 6, 9, 11.
Shami, Siraj:
It has also been reported that only if Shami performs well, he will be included in the T20 World Cup main team. Apart from that, it is said that if Siraj performs well in the last two T20 matches against South Africa, Siraj and Shami will play in the T20 World Cup practice match against Aussie and New Zealand.
Due to this, Siraj’s performance in the South African series has also created great expectations.
