More predicts India are using back-ups for Asia Cup
More opened up on the Indian team’s selection for the T20 World Cup and said the current Squad for the Asia cup won’t have any bearings. More said, “Shami must go for the World Cup, I still say that. Rahul Dravid has this process, he likes to have back-ups.
“If a bowler gets injured, someone like Avesh Khan can be useful in the World Cup.
“I don’t know what is the extent of Bumrah’s injury, but come the World Cup, and Bumrah (if fit) and Shami will definitely go to World Cup,” More added.
The Indian team has made wholesale changes to the expcted squad for the Asia Cup. The likes of Kl Rahul and Virat Kohli have returned back to the squad while Axar Patel (back-up), Sanju Samson and Mohammed Shami have been dropped, despite being part of the team most recently.
Shami to be back for T20 World Cup?
Eyebrows were raised after the squad was announced for the Asia Cup T20, as veteran speedster Mohammed Shami was dropped from the Indian team. However, according to More this is only a one off occasion and thinks he will back for the T20 World Cup.
“The way Hardik made his comeback was impressive. He’s now bowling 140+. A captain wants a player like that — who can score runs, take wickets, and be alert on the field.
But I also want to say one thing — this team won’t go into the World Cup until Mohammed Shami comes into the side.
These are back-ups who are travelling there, as preparation for the World Cup,” added More.
