Former Indian captain and ex selection committee member Kris Srikkanth on Monday said that he will pick Mahammad Shami over Harshal Patel for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Squad.
Speaking on Star Sports show ‘FOLLOW THE BLUES’ post the squad announcement, the ex-chairman of selection committee said:
“If I was the chairman of the selection committee, Shami is definitely in the team.
“We are playing in Australia, the guy’s got the real action, the guy’s got bounce, he can bare the moment. And he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel.”
“Yes, Harshal Patel is a good bowler, no doubt about it, but Mohammad Shami is the right guy.
“I mean they can say not the scheme of things. He’s only for Test cricket or one day cricket but we are playing in Australia. That guy has done well last IPL, so Shami is the must in my team.”
