After Deepak Chahar was ruled out due to injury, India have named two players – Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur – in the reserves alongside Shreyas Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi. The three players have already flown to Australia and have linked up with the squad.
"Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur have been named as backups and will travel to Australia shortly,” said BCCI.
The Indian team management had dealt with a number of blows in the month leading up to the World Cup. Ravindra Jadeja, the all-rounder, was the first to be ruled out due to a knee injury. The news of Bumrah's back injury arrived a few weeks before the team's departure for Australia.

Only 14 players traveled to Australia as the BCCI was yet to announce a replacement player for the injured Jasprit Bumrah, who had been ruled out of the upcoming mega event due to a back injury.Notably, Bumrah was not part of the Asia Cup campaign in the UAE in September due to a back injury. The BCCI had taken a precautionary call and rested Bumrah from the continental tournament.
India squad: 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, Mohammad Shami.
