Umesh Yadav made a shocking comeback to the team after more than three months in the shortest format. He came back into the team after taking 16 wickets in the Indian T20 League.
The 34-year-old has played 133 Indian T20 League matches and taken 135 wickets for different franchises in the league. His experience and pace would be of immense help to the Indian team in Australia and hence he is very likely to be included in the squad. The premium pace bowler would be an able replacement for Jasprit Bumrah.
India starts their 20-20 World Cup campaign on 23rd October against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
India Squad for the 20-20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
