Madan backs Mohammed Shami selection

With just two weeks remaining for the selectors meet on September 15, Madan Lal has backed the selction of Mohammed Shami in the team and said, “Shami should definitely be in the team for the T20 World Cup. He’s our best bowler after Bumrah. I would look for a bowler who could get me wickets.

“I don’t want bowlers who would only look to contain runs. Batters will keep scoring runs in this format. The only way to stem the flow of runs is to take wickets,” said the former World Cup winner.

The former World Cup winner further added,  “The Indian selectors will make a big mistake if they don’t pick Shami. He’s a great bowler and has done well in Australia in the past. I don’t understand why they are not picking him for T20s. You think he’s not a better bowler than those who are playing now? He’s one of the best bowlers in world cricket,” said Lal.

India Squad T20 WC: Why Mohammed Shami could be recalled?

  • Jasprit Bumrah has a recurrence of his back injury and he is running against time.
  • Bumrah has exactly two months to be at 100% but the last time he had a back injury, he had to spend five months on the sidelines.
  • While Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are two options, India will need an experienced seamer in Australia.
  • Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan are all relatively inexperienced in international cricket and in Australia.
  • That is the reason, Mohammed Shami could be recalled.
  • Shami has been ignored despite a fine IPL 2022 show.
  • The veteran pacer bagged 20 wickets in 16 matches, leading Gujarat Titans to their maiden IPL title on debut.
  • Former selectors and players have already said that they are surprised by Shami’s exclusion.
