Veteran captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth mentioned a pacer and importance in the T20 World Cup squad for India. The BCCI announced the India squad for the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma is the captain and KL Rahul the vice-captain. Surprisingly Harshal Patel was named instead of Mohammad Shami. Krishnamachari Srikkant was against the option and stated Shami to be added to the squad instead of Harshal.
“If I was the chairman of the selection committee, Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy’s got the real action, the guy’s got bounce, he can bear the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel,” Srikkant stated on Star Sports.
Shami was picked by Gujarat Titans, the newest member of IPL. He played 16 matches and bagged 20 wickets for the team. Eventually, GT won the IPL 2022 in the finals. “Yes, Harshal Patel is a good bowler, no doubt about it, but Mohammad Shami is the right guy, I mean they can say not the scheme of things, he’s only for test cricket or one day cricket but we are playing in Australia. That guy has done well last IPL, so Shami is the must in my team.”
“Mohammad Shami is a frontline bowler. You check his IPL record from last year. Fantastic! He has got early wickets. Who will give?” Srikkant added. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh are also present in the squad. Sanju Samson was skipped from the team.
