New Delhi: Reports say that India’s T20 World Cup squad will be announced on September 16. Criticism was strong over the team selection in the Asia Cup. The argument that pacer Mohammad Shami should be included in the Twenty20 World Cup team is now being strongly raised.
India included only three fast bowlers in the Asia Cup squad. Bumrah missed the tournament due to injury. India hopes that Bumrah will regain his fitness by the time of the Twenty20 World Cup. Harshal Patel also gets a place in the squad if he recovers his fitness.
At this time, Ravi Shastri and others have raised the demand that Mohammad Shami should be included in the playing eleven. Ravi Shastri, India’s former coach, responded that he was baffled by the fact that someone like Mohammad Shami is at home.
Former Indian selector Saba Karim also points out that Shami was in good form in the IPL. Former Indian player Madan Lal responded that after Bumrah, Mohammed Shami is the best bowler in the Indian line-up.
