It can be crystal clear now that Md Shami is not in the scheme of matters for the T20 Environment Cup. Exactly why you wouldn’t want an professional, prolific wicket-taker in your group for a marquee occasion is outside of me.

How big a set back will it be without having Bumrah in the Asia Cup…??? Very likely to be dominated out… shami need to be again then @BCCI

I might choose Shami now and hope he gives me powerplay wickets with Arshdeep/Bhuvi to get care of the death overs. Any working day about Avesh.

As predicted, KL & Virat returns, Iyer played a wonderful knock in previous match but the in general batting performance in sequence cost him his spot whilst Hooda built most of his prospects. Altho I personally required Shami to be provided a probability but mgmt appears to get absent from him in this structure. https://t.co/4mZTeOn6Mk

No Mohammad Shami or Deepak Chahar in India’s Asia Cup Squad. India’s Quick bowling lineup looks to be little bit weak. Its a surprise that Indian Selectors didn’t think about a brilliant & such an expert bowler like Mohd Shammi even in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. #AsiaCup2022 #bcci

This suggests, and I am not absolutely sure I concur with it, that Shami isn’t aspect of the ideas. They are wanting at an additional death bowler to accompany Bumrah and that is where Arshdeep gets the nod.

Shami for Avesh & Axar for Ashwin would have been greater https://t.co/8VW8B4d5EL
