Currently, India have already started their series against South Africa at home which is their last assignment ahead the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. BCCI announced the squad for the South Africa series before the Australia series only and except for Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Both Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik will be on the team flight to Perth as the Rahul Dravid troops will carry atleast two additional pacers as back-up for Jasprit Bumrah and net bowlers in order to prepare for the major tournament. After Bumrah's injury, surely Rohit Sharma and the head coach have a lot to discuss now.
