color:#252525">Digital Desk: After receiving harsh criticism for his 10-month absence
from the T20 squad, Mohammad Shami was selected as a standby for the World T20
squad. Unfortunately, Shami tested positive for COVID and will not play in the
three T20 matches against Australia. Umesh Yadav has been called in as a
replacement, despite the fact that he last featured in a T20I in February 2019
against Australia.

Yadav has been instructed to join the team. Yadav is now undergoing
rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore after suffering a
quad muscle injury while playing for Middlesex in the English county season.
color:#252525">As of now, it's unclear whether the symptoms are minor or
dangerous. When Shami is deemed match-fit, the medical staff will decide
whether or not to allow him to play in the three T20 games against South
Africa. The Indian squad will play its first Twenty20 match against Australia
on September 20 in Mohali, and then on September 23 and 25 in Nagpur and
Hyderabad, respectively, it will play its second and third Twenty20 matches.

well-known supporters of Shami was the former India coach, Ravi Shastri.

Shastri then stated on Star Sports that he was not making the cut after the
IPL. Shami last participated in an India T20 match in November.
color:#252525">Shami had taken 20 wickets from 16 games for the Gujarat Lions,
who eventually won the IPL in 2022, averaging 24.40 and having an economy rate
of 8.
color:#252525">With 11 wickets at an economy rate of 6.62, Shami had the most
powerplay dismissals of any bowler in the 2022 IPL.
color:#252525">Middlesex Cricket announced in a statement on Saturday that
Yadav won't be coming back to London to play in the club's county matches.
color:#252525">Middlesex was hopeful that the Indian international would be
returning to the club to play a part in the effort for promotion to the top
flight of the Championship structure with two red-ball games remaining in the
season, away to Leicestershire next week and away to Worcestershire the
following week, the club said in a statement.

incurring the injury for a medical evaluation with the BCCI's medical team,
where he started treatment and rehabilitation on the injury while beginning a
back-to-bowling programme."
