At the same time, Shami had to face the problem while bowling in the match against Pakistan. Due to which questions are also being raised about his fitness. In such a situation, the team management can exclude him from the match against New Zealand (Ind vs NZ).

Talking about the same joy, he did not do anything special with the ball in the match against Pakistan.

Moreover, he also left the catch of Mohammad Rizwan while fielding poorly. In such a situation, it is believed that the management is hardly given a chance in playing 11 in the next match.

These two players will have surprise entry
