As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nears the Champions Trophy squad selection deadline, a big boost has reportedly come in the form of veteran pacer Mohammed Shami. Though Shami couldn't prove his fitness for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it has been reported that he is all set to be picked for India's ODI squad against England, as well as the Champions Trophy, if his comeback goes as planned. However, Shami's return to India's T20 side against England isn't looking as likely yet.
Indian spin legend R Ashwin feels Rishabh Pant will score a century in every game if the maverick India wicketkeeper-batter is able to curb his extravagance and impetuosity as he has got "one of the best defences" in world cricket. Hailing Pant's ability to singlehandedly turn a match on its head, Ashwin said a lot of his shots are high-risk, something that is not allowing him to realise his full potential. Pant scored the second-fastest Test fifty by an Indian during the fifth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Sydney recently, after a hard-fought 40 in the first innings of the same game.
Former Indian cricket team star Manoj Tiwary questioned India's struggles in ICC tournaments in the past decade and said that the team should believe that they will be able to win all the competitions. In a recent interview, Tiwary went on to say that sometimes, deserving candidates do not get the opportunities and although it is not BCCI's fault at all times, the lack of support has resulted in India missing out on major talents. He even went on to use Jalaj Saxena as an example who played well but was not included in the squad for the past few series.

Tiwary didn't mince words as he questioned several decisions taken by Gambhir, in the capacity of the team's coach, especially with regards to the selection of a few players and his own coaching staff.
