All eyes were on Mohammed Shami in the build-up to the opening T20I match against England at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday, with the veteran fast bowler slated to make his first international appearance in over a year and play his first match in the format in more than two years. India's Mohammad Shami delivers a ball as he attends a practice session ahead of their first Twenty20 international cricket match against England at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on January 21 Shami returned to competitive cricket in October last year after spending almost a year on the sidelines with an ankle injury he had incurred during the 2023 ODI World Cup final. After being snubbed for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, with India captain Rohit Sharma revealing during the Australia tour that he suffered swelling on his knee during the domestic season, Shami was named in the India T20I squad for the home series against England with an eye to help him gear up for the Champions Trophy next month. 'I'm shivering and shaking' Veteran India cricketer Parthiv Patel, speaking to the broadcaster after the toss, where India won and opted to bowl first, admitted that he was "surprised" by the decision to bench Shami and said that he awaits a clarification from the team management over their call.
