BCCI officials are hopeful that the fast bowler will undergo his fitness test at the NCA before making a place in the Test team. If he passes the test, Shami will join the team in Rajkot for the third Test. Will not be able to play the first two test matches against England – BCCI official A BCCI source was quoted by the Indian Express as saying, “Shami has not even started bowling yet, he will have to go to NCA to prove his fitness. It is difficult for him to play in the first two Tests against England. For the first two Test matches against England, Prasidh Krishna or Mukesh Kumar can be included in the playing eleven in place of Shami. In the second Test against the Proteas at Newlands, Cape Town, Kumar performed well with the ball, while Prasidh was decent. Captain Rohit Sharma was not happy with his performance in the first Test of the series in Centurion. Except Shami, all other Test cricketers are fit for the blockbuster series against England.

Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been selected ahead of Ishan Kishan in the Indian team for the T20 series against Afghanistan because they can play wicketkeeper-batsman in the middle order. Can play in. Mohali will host the first match of the three-match T20 series between the Men in Blue and Afghanistan on Thursday (January 11), while the other matches will be played in Indore and Bengaluru. The selectors on Sunday named a 16-man squad for the series, with Samson and Jitesh selected as wicketkeeping options. No one knows why Ishaan Kishan is not there – Aakash Chopra In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that there was no explanation for why Samson was selected in place of Kishan as the wicketkeeper-batsman option. He elaborated, “Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson are the two wicketkeepers, although Samson was not kept as the keeper in the last two series. Ishan Kishan was going as the keeper but now he is no more. No one knows why Ishan Kishan is not there. This is a different story.” The former India opener said that the lack of vacancies in the top order might have forced the selectors to pick Samson and Jitesh. He said, “You have suddenly filled the opening slot. Virat Kohli plays at number 3, he does not play at number 4. Therefore the keeper will have to bat lower in the order. You have only two keeping options who can bat lower down the order, one is Jitesh Sharma and the other is Sanju Samson.” It is noteworthy that Ishan Kishan was out of the recent Test series against South Africa due to personal reasons. There is no clarity whether he has been ignored for the Afghanistan T20I series or he is still not available for selection. Also read: What problem has BCCI faced with KL Rahul now?

And despite having talent and resources, it has not been able to win any major ICC tournament in the last decade. In a discussion with Fox Sports, Vaughan said- They (India) have not won much in recent times. I think they are an underachieving team. They don’t win anything, when was the last time they won anything? He should have achieved a lot with all the talents and gifts he had. On the other hand, now giving a befitting reply to Michael Vaughan, Indian cricket team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement.

“I am very happy with Smith’s performance at number 4” – Cummins probably does not want to make Steve Smith the opener.
Pat Cummins and Steve Smith (Pic Source-Twitter) Ever since David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket, many opening batsmen have been seen as his replacement, especially in Test cricket. Players like Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw were included in this list. However, the team management was open to the idea of trying Cameron Green at the top of the order along with Usman Khawaja. AlthoughBefore the third Test against Pakistan in Sydney, Steve Smith had expressed his desire to open, which made the decision even more difficult for the team management. marnus labuschagne supported the idea and said that it would give him a lot of motivation to improve in the longest format. However, captain Pat Cummins does not support this and is happy with Smith playing at number four. The captain said that he has no problem from numbers 3 to 6, as Labuschagne, Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh have performed well. Steve Smith will bat at number 4 only – Pat Cummins Pat Cummins was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying, “I am very happy with (Smith’s) performance at number 4. Obviously Marnus (Labuschen), Steve (Smith), Travie (Head) and (Mitchell) Marsh have been very influential at Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. So the first instinct is probably not to disrupt it.” Warner was a tremendous player in red-ball cricket and Cummins said that it would be difficult for anyone to replace him. The 30-year-old did not give a clear indication of the player who could replace Warner in the final playing XI, but said that players who have scored runs in the Sheffield Shield will be considered for this. Cummins said, “Obviously it will be really difficult to repeat what Davey has done. I think what you really look for is who is in the best position to score runs. But I think, in Test cricket, there are some things that remain true – and that is that you have to put pressure on the opponent. You have to tick the scoreboard. Not always – but most of the time – you have to keep the scoreboard moving. There are some thoughts, but realistically, if someone is scoring runs in Shield cricket, it is probably a good sign that they can do it at the next level.” Also read: Wasim Akram got furious on social media, read what is the whole matter
