A twist that no one expected..!? New player in
t20 world cup team..!?
It has been reported that a new player will be included in the
indian team for the
t20 world cup series. The
indian team won the
t20 cricket series with the Australian team by 2-1. Despite the amazing batting line-up, the bowling of the
indian team is still weak. There were complaints that Bhuvneshwar Kumar was giving away runs in the last few overs. But the bowlers
jasprit bumrah and Harshal Patel, who have recovered from injury, did not make much of an impact. Even in the 3rd
t20 against Australia, they scored 185 runs even after losing 117 - 6 wickets.
It is in this context that
bcci is consulting on Mohammed Shami's case.
shami will be fit for the
t20 world cup in Australia. He was selected as a backup player for this. But before the Australian series, he got infected with Corona and is currently undergoing treatment. He can go to the
t20 world cup only if he is fully fit by the next
south africa series.
But it looks like he will need several more days to prepare. As a result, negotiations are underway for the inclusion of young player Umran Malik.
Umran Malik is the best bowler on the
indian team who can bowl at 150+ kmph. Umran Malik can be used as pace and bounce are good on Australian pitches. So it is reported that Umran will be chosen instead of Shami.
