India's Likely Playing XI vs England, 2nd T20I: Mohammed Shami To Make Return?

India's thumping 7-wicket victory against England in the first T20I of the series saw the hosts set expectations clear from the word go. Opening batter Abhishek Sharma was the top-scoring batter, registering a knock of 79 runs off 34 balls as England were handed a cricketing lesson by India. However, the match did give the Indian team a heartbreak as there was no place for the returning pacer Mohammed Shami in the team. India only went with Arshdeep Singh as a frontline pacer, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya and three spinners accompanying him in attack.

"Don't Know What Wrong He Did": Harbhajan Singh Fumes At India Star's Snub

The competition for places in the Indian team is such that one or two deserving players often miss out, no matter the series or tournament. As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the Champions Trophy and England ODIs, wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson missed out despite his exemplary average in the 50-over format. Harbhajan Singh, former India spinner, admitted being heartbroken to see Samson miss out. While the argument remains, in whose place, should Samson have been picked, Harbhajan feels space could've been made for the Kerala cricketer.

17-Year-Old Mumbai Batter, Dropped For Rohit Sharma Despite Scoring Ton, Has Message For India Captain

Rohit Sharma's return to Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team came at a cost, as 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre lost his place in the XI despite scoring a century in the previous fixture. Mhatre has had a phenomenal campaign so far that saw him scoring 441 runs in 6 matches at an average of 40.09, but he had to return to the bench as the senior India stars like Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to Ranji Trophy after the national team's poor Australia tour.

'Easiest Way To Dismiss Shreyas Iyer Is...': Ex-Pakistan Star Points Out Weakness In Batter

Shreyas Iyer performed poorly with the bat in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy game against Jammu and Kashmir at Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai. He scored 11 and 17 across the two innings during the match. Criticising Iyer for his failure, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali slammed him for his shot selection during the first innings. The right-handed batter was caught out at wide mid-on when trying to hit a fuller delivery off pacer Yudhvir Singh over the fielder. What made it look worse was the fact that Iyer attempted the shot when Mumbai were already six down in their innings. Ali picked it as the easiest way to dismiss the India batter in the Champions Trophy 2025.

Ravichandran Ashwin Says "Don't Want To Be Chairman Of Selectors". Gives This Reason

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has sympathised with Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of BCCI's selection committee while sharing his views on the fight for places in the team. Ever since India's Champions Trophy squad was announced by captain Rohit Sharma and Agarkar, the exclusion of stars like Sanju Samson, Karun Nair and Ruturaj Gaikwad has become a topic of discussion. Agarkar, in general, has come under the scanner for ignoring players who are scoring consistently in the domestic circuit.
