Zaheer Khan Wants Shami to Play in Rajkot T20 Match
f you see that the Indian team is preparing for the Champions Trophy, then you should also see that Shami should have some game time. You know? This is something that they have to think about. Mohammed Shami is part of the T20 series, but he has not got a place in the first two matches.
The former fast bowler further said, โMaybe the call was made based on the circumstances, but the bowlers got some help in Eden Gardens, but there you missed it. Maybe to give balance to this bowling lineup, an opportunity was missed there.
If the next game allows you to do so, then definitely he should play. I think Shami is a guy who is going to take wickets. Everyone knows who can do damage with the new ball and set that tone for the game.โ
