Curtain on Shami’s fitness may rise in Chennai

New DelhiIn the first T20 match played against England in Kolkata, the Indian team won the match but the question of which the fans were finding cricket experts as well as cricket experts were not found. After winning the toss, when the playing XI was announced, everyone was surprised to see a name. That name was of Mohammed Shami.

The wait for returning to Mohammed Shami International cricket has now increased till 25 January. Recently, Mohammed Shami was selected for the T20 series against England. After this, it was believed that Mohammed Shami could return in the Kolkata T20 match, but it did not happen. Now former Indian all -rounder Irfan Pathan has made a statement on Mohammed Shami’s return. Irfan Pathan believes that Indian selectors do not want to take any risk. So, Mohammed is not hasty for Shami’s return.

Shami understands his body

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan said about the fitness of Mohammed Shami that if you have such a long experience, you are one of the top-10 bowlers of India, then you of course know how much your body’s ability is. Mohammed Shami always gives his feedback honestly to the team management. After this, decisions are taken with mutual understanding. Especially, when you are playing international cricket regularly. I believe that the Indian team management will take the right decision at the right time.

Shami’s backup should be in Siraj team

Former all -rounder Irfan Pathan, who has created a distinct identity from his impeccable commentary, believes that India does not have a backup in the fast bowling attack for the Champions Trophy. Mohammad Siraj should have been in this Indian squad. Jasprit remains a question on Bumrah’s fitness, so Mohammad Siraj would prove to be better backup. Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy is starting from 19 February. The Indian team will start their campaign against Bangladesh. Teams from India and Bangladesh will be face to face on 20 February. After this, the Indian team will take on Pakistan and New Zealand in group stage. There are only 3 fast bowlers in the Indian team selected for these matches, in which there is no idea of ​​two fitness.
