Mohammad Shami ruled out of the ODI series against Bangladesh; Umran Malik named replacement
India is all set to lock horns with Bangladesh in the three-match ODI series. The first two games of the series will be played in Dhaka on 4th December and 7th December respectively. Whereas third game is scheduled to take place in Chattogram on 10th December.
Ahead of the first game, the visitors have suffered a massive blow as senior pacer Mohammad Shami has been ruled out of the series. The fast bowler sustained a shoulder injury during a training session ahead of the opening game, following which he was deemed unfit to play.

With him not being available, BCCI has named Umran Malik as his replacement for the ODI series. The fast bowler impressed many with his heroics in his debut series against New Zealand last month. It is likely that the pacer will play all the three games alongside Mohammed Siraj.
Releasing the official statement, BCCI stated: “Fast bowler Mohd. Shami sustained a shoulder injury during a training session in the lead up to the ODI series against Bangladesh. He is currently under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team at the NCA, Bengaluru and will not be able to take part in the three-match series. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Umran Malik as Shami’s replacement.”

This is great news. It seemed unfair that he was not included in the first list

Unfortunate thing for Shami but at the same time an excellent opportunity for Umran to make his case in ODIS.
