All the squads: India, Pakistan make late changes for Cup

Mohammed Shami returns to T20 fold to replace injured Jasprit Bumrah while Pakistan and Bangladesh tinker with their 15-man rosters for the T20 World Cup

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami has replaced injured Jasprit Bumrah in India's T20 World Cup squad, while Bangladesh and Pakistan both made last-minute changes.

Australia have resisted the temptation to tinker with their squad, meaning Cameron Green remains sidelined despite his impressive form in recent matches, with the defending champions taking pace-bowling allrounders Mitch Marsh and Marcus Stoinis into the tournament.

Further changes can now only be made if there is an injury.

Shami has already landed in Australia and will join the Indian team in Brisbane for two warm-up matches against Australia and New Zealand next week.

Star man Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament earlier this month because of a back injury.

Pakistan have promoted Fakhar Zaman into the 15-player squad in place of leg-spinner Usman Qadir, who has not overcome a thumb injury.

Fakhar has recovered from a knee injury in last month's Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka.

India will open their World Cup campaign against great rivals Pakistan on October 23 in Melbourne and also have South Africa, Bangladesh and two qualifiers in their group.

Two more fast bowlers in Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj have been named as reserves and the BCCI said both will fly out to Australia shortly.

Shami has experience of playing in Australia and was India's second highest wicket-taker during the ODI World Cup in 2019.

The right-arm quick was due to play in the home T20 series against Australia and South Africa last month but pulled out after he tested positive for COVID-19.

He hasn't played a T20 international in almost a year since claiming six wickets in five games during the last T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

India's pace attack will be led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar with Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel and allrounder Hardik Pandya as other options.

Bangladesh, who went winless in a T20 tri-series featuring Pakistan and hosts New Zealand, have made two changes with Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam elevated to the 15-player squad.

They replace Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin, who drop back to the reserve player list, with the change made based on form before the travelled to Australia ahead of next weeks' warm-ups.
