Shami’s Non-selection for 2022 Asia Cup Indian Squad a ‘Surprise’ or Not?
The QuintBut this came only after going wicketless against Pakistan and New Zealand, where bowling second was hard due to dew coming later in the second innings. Though Shami gave a serious reminder of his new ball skills in Gujarat Titans' run to IPL 2022 trophy by being their leading wicket-taker,, it seems that the Indian selectors have completely moved on from him being in the T20I scheme of things. Shami also had 11 wickets to his name in power-play, with an economy rate of just 6.62, the most picked by a bowler in IPL 2022 alongside Chennai Super Kings' left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary. In the pitches of IPL 2022, where bowlers were getting some help, Shami was a standout with his lengths not letting the batters break free. With Chahar returning from a slew of injuries and announced as a back-up player for Asia Cup 2022, there is no vacancy for Shami.
