The All-India Senior Selection Committee named Mohd. Siraj as a replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa.

Bumrah was on Thursday ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup due to a back stress fracture.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee named Mohd. Siraj as a replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah for the remainder of the T20I series against South Africa,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in the statement on Friday.

Siraj, a 28-year-old right-arm pacer, has so far appeared in five T20Is and taken five wickets. His most recent T20I was against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala in February of this year.

India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against South Africa after a convincing eight-wicket victory in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. The second and third matches will be held in Guwahati (October 2) and Indore  (October 4).

India squad for South Africa T20Is: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Umesh Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mohd. Siraj
