Shami Removal:
All the players who will participate in the series reached Mohali last night. Then everyone has been tested for Corona. Mohammed Shami was confirmed to have Corona and he was quarantined. As other players are not in contact with him, it is certain that the infection has not spread to other players.
Regression:
A few days ago the BCCI executive had said that Shami would be included in the team as a replacement for Axar Patel if he proves his ability in the Australia and South Africa series, but now Shami has been dropped. As a result, Shami is unable to play in the T20 World Cup. And reserve players are also likely to be removed from the list.
The 32-year-old has not played a single match since last July. Likewise, he has not played for the Indian team in T20 cricket since last November. He was given a chance in the team because he took 20 wickets in 16 matches in the 15th season of IPL and was an experienced bowler. In this case, he is affected by Corona and removed from the Aussie series.
Substitute Player:
It is reported that Umesh Yadav is likely to be included as his replacement. He bowled exceptionally well in the last IPL season, taking 16 wickets at an economy rate of 7.06. Recently he bowled well in the Royal London ODI series as well. Based on this, information has been released that Shami is going to be included as a replacement. Also, if Shami is not included in the T20 World Cup, it is also believed that Umesh Yadav will get the place.
