World Cup in Australia, Bumrah has been ruled out of the mega tournament due to a back injury. TOI has learnt that Mohammed Shami is most likely to replace Bumrah in the 15-member squad for the World Cup while Mohammed Siraj will travel to Australia as a standby. As reported by TOI on September 30, the choice was between Deepak Chahar and Shami if Bumrah eventually failed to make the cut.
With two wins already in the bag, India will look to continue their strong start in the Women's Asia Cup T20 when they take on UAE in their third match on Monday. The match against UAE comes a day after their win over Malaysia, so there may be a case of tired legs for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, but they will be helped by the fact that they were only on the field for 5.2 overs of Malaysia's chase before rain hit. Smriti Mandhana was rested and Sabbhineni Meghana hit a fine half-century in her place, so it will be interesting to see the team combination. The bowling, of course, did not get much of a chance, but batters like KP Navgire and Dayalan Hemalatha will want to impress if they get another chance today.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has slammed head coach Saqlain Mushtaq and the team management after the Babar Azam-led side crumbled to a series defeat against England. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in Australia, starting later this month, Akhtar wants the management to address the issues, especially the middle-order. Having led the series 3-2 at one point, Pakistan lost the last two T20Is in Lahore after a poor show with the bat, and conceded the series 3-4.
