The Gujarat Titans are gearing up for the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) and they have announced their injury replacement for the ruled-out Mohammed Shami.
GT has roped in the Indian international, Sandeep Warrier in place of the injured Shami for the upcoming season. So far he has only played just one T20I which came in during the pandemic in 2021 against Sri Lanka.
He is set to join the Gujarat franchise for the base price of INR 50 Lakhs. Shami had undergone surgery for his right heel problem and is currently recovering. He is yet to return to playing competitive cricket after a stellar show in the recently concluded ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
