"India seam bowler Harshit Rana has been ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup with a knee injury, India's cricket board (BCCI) announced on Friday, with Mohammed Siraj named as a replacement. Rana, who has also developed into a handy lower-order batter, sustained the injury during a warmup match against South Africa on Wednesday when he bowled just one over before leaving the field."
"Skipper Suryakumar Yadav had said that Rana's injury did not look good, but that they had enough depth in the squad to deal with it. Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are likely to share the new-ball duty, while India also have seam-bowling all-rounders in Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. It's a big blow obviously because you make a squad of 15 players with a lot of combinations in mind, Suryakumar said before Saturday's Group A contest against the United States."
Harshit Rana sustained a knee injury during a warm-up match against South Africa after bowling one over and has been ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced Mohammed Siraj as Rana's replacement, and the International Cricket Council approved the substitution. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav said Rana's injury did not look good but that the squad has sufficient depth. Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are likely to share new-ball duties, with seam-bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube providing additional options. India aim to defend their T20 World Cup title while hosting the tournament.
