On 15 September, the All-India Senior Selection Committee held a meeting to finalize the 15 member squad for T20I World Cup 2022. The squad included star pacer Jasprit Bumrah as well. Later, BCCI  released a statement weeks prior to the start of the coveted event revealing that the ace pacer was ruled out of the squad after detailed assessment by the BCCI medical team and consultation with the specialist. Mohammed Shami was later announced as Bumrah's best possible replacement for the world cup squad.
