Openers have fixed positions, everyone else need to be flexible: Axar

Kolkata: Openers are the only ones with a fixed slot in the Indian T20 line-up and the batting order that follows will be made up of "multiple floaters", new vice-captain Axar Patel said on Monday while spelling out the team's strategy ahead the five-match series against England. Axar, who is now a part of the team management for the series, spoke in a manner that reminded one of Rohit Sharma's interaction before the 2023 ODI World Cup where he called for flexibility in the middle-order. Axar also welcomed veteran pacer Mohammed Shami's return to the national set-up for the first time since ODI World Cup final on November 19, 2023. The last time he played was in the ODI World Cup final, and since his recovery, he has performed well in both the Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare tournaments," he said, referring to Shami's recent comeback in the domestic circuit.
