T20 World Cup Squad: Master Stroke or Blunder, have India missed out on trick by dropping Mohammed Shami?
India TV NewsThe Board of Control for Cricket in India and its selection committee on Monday made a bold decision as they announced the squad for the T20 World Cup. With the leg-cutters, Shami also is lethal in bowling short deliveries while he can make use of the bounce offered on different pitches The wicket at Melbourne Cricket Ground has a rich history of helping swing bowling rather than slower deliveries Shami also offers a great variety of deliveries, something that Harshal Patel cannot offer “Australia has good bouncy wickets and short of good length deliveries will help India. Shami’s seam bowling could be a decisive factor in Australia," former T20 World Cup winner RP Singh said on India TV Cricket in an exclusive chat on Saturday. Harshal’s big weapon is the slower delivery and in Australia, ball-cutters will be used extensively, which again makes him ineffective," the 2007 T20 World Cup winner added. Full squad for T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
