Mohammed Shami has not featured in the Indian T20I side since the World Cup 2021. Although Shami has played just 17 T20Is thus far, he bowled exceptionally well for the Gujarat Titans in their title-winning campaign in IPL 2022.
During a discussion on Star Sports, former all rounder Irfan Pathan cast his vote for Mohammed Shami to be brought back into the Indian team’s scheme of things for the T20 World Cup in Australia.
Irfan Pathan explained, “The team you chose, you didn’t use the 6th bowler, & you didn’t get the result you wanted from the other 5 bowlers. Now there is an opportunity here whether a bowler can come in the World Cup race who can help the Indian team. I feel if you are looking for only the new ball, you will not get a better option than Shami.”
“There are a lot of bowlers who have raised their hands, there are options, but they are young & inexperienced. If you see experience & form, Shami is furthest ahead.”
