I was out of the T20 team, but wasn’t out of practice: Shami

Mohammed Shami has been impressive in the T20 WC

Adelaide: He was not part of the T20 scheme of things for past one year but Mohammed Shami was “always ready” in his mind because of the clear communication between him and the team management. The veteran India seamer last played T20Is during the UAE global event, after which it was decided that he would only feature in Tests and ODIs.

But Jasprit Bumrah’s stress fracture of the back, an injury to Deepak Chahar, and Avesh Khan’s loss of form forced the team management to call Shami back for the mega event.
