Shami not playing, not 100% fit for today – Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopram confirmed that Mohammed Shami is not fit for the match and pointed out that India has only selected one batsman in his squad. Sharing his comments on his Twitter account:

“Shami won’t play. Not 100% fit for today. India chose to play only one forward in Arshdeep. Hardik-Nitish as two other pace options. England fielded 4 proper pacers. Both captains see the field game differently.”

The main target should be the Champions Trophy and he should be worthy of it – Piyush Chawla on Mohammed Shami

Piyush Chawla has spoken about Mohammed Shami’s absence, stating that the fast bowler is limping in the tournament. BCCI’s main target is the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and it will be fine if it misses a few games. Speaking on Star Sports, he said:

“If you look at his run, he’s still limping a bit. The main target should be the Championship and he should be fit for that. Even if he misses a few games in this series, it’s okay.”

It was a very important match for him, even at home – Suresh Raina against Mohammed Shami

Suresh Raina, who was part of Star Sports, said that India might have found a friendly home spinner and Mohammed Shami could not find a place in the team. And so he said.

“India have picked three spinners. They start with spin, maybe that’s why he wasn’t picked? It was a very important match for him, at home too.”

Fortunately, Mohammed Shami’s absence did not cost India too much as they won the first game of the series by 7 wickets. They chased down the target in 13 overs and chased down the England national cricket team for 132 runs to win the series 1-0.

With four games scheduled in the series, Mohammed Shami may play a role in the series. He is part of the Indian squad for the ODI series against England and the team management will want him to be fully fit before then.
