Last year, India were knocked out in the group stage after losing to Pakistan and New Zealand. However, the team has a chance to capitalize on it but for that they will need players who have to perform at their best in Australia.
India’s selectors have been giving opportunities to the fringe players and many newcomers and have also been giving rest to senior players, who seem to be the automatic choice for the World Cup. However, not everyone may be able to make the cut and Ashish Nehra feels that among them could be veteran pacer Mohammed Shami, who had an impressive performance. IPL 2022.

“It seems (he) is not in the plan. Everyone knows what Shami is capable of. If he doesn’t get a chance to play the T20 World Cup, it is understandable as he plays Test cricket regularly. And there have been many new fast bowlers that you are giving chances,” Nehra said.
He further added, “There is a 50-over World Cup next year and given Shami’s experience, India should definitely look up to him.” There haven’t been many ODI matches before the (ODI) World Cup. This is a chance to play Shami, who has got a break after IPL – play him in England (ODI series). You want to win a series against a team like England and for that you need your best bowlers. Among them I definitely count Shami.”
Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel, however, feels Shami has improved as a bowler and has become someone who is now effectively in all three phases of a T20 match – powerplay, middle and death overs. Can bowl.
Patel said, ‘We used to say that Mohammed Shami is effective only with the new ball. “But in the last two-three seasons, he has been better. When you have that ability, it becomes difficult for the opponents. From India’s point of view also we see the team getting in trouble when the openers get out early. Shami can do that with other teams. He has started bowling well in the death overs as well. Players develop and Shami too. He has become a bowler who can bowl in three phases.
