Siraj set to replace Rana

India pacer Mohammed Siraj is likely to replace the injured Harshit Rana in India’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad, as per reports.

Injury during warm-up

Rana sustained a knee injury during India’s only warm-up match against South Africa ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026.

Siraj expected to be named

Selectors are reportedly set to name Siraj as Rana’s replacement by Friday evening, according to reports.

Captain’s earlier stance

India captain Suryakumar Yadav had earlier said Rana was not ruled out and that the team had enough fast-bowling options.

Rana’s brief outing

Rana bowled just one over in the warm-up game before walking off the field, clutching his knee, with Jasprit Bumrah absent from the match.

Siraj’s T20I return?

Siraj, who last played a T20I in July 2024, is now expected to return to India’s setup for the T20 World Cup 2026.
