New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today confirmed that India’s pace spearhead Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League due to a knee injury sustained during the ICC Cricket World Cup last month.
Shami, who took 18 wickets in the World Cup, had problems with dodgy knee as he was rested for one game against UAE which Bhuvneshwar Kumar played.
Shami is out of the tournament. He might have to go for operation. He should not have gone for IPL. He will take at least two months for recovery,” a BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity
“The IPL Technical Committee has approved a replacement for Mohammed Shami in the Delhi Daredevils team. Shami has been ruled out of the ongoing Pepsi IPL season due to a knee injury. The Delhi Daredevils therefore have the option of picking a replacement player,” an IPL media release stated.
