"Not In The Plans...": Former India Pacer's Big Statement On Mohammed Shami's T20 World Cup Chances

With the T20 World Cup set to be held later this year in Australia, Team India faces a selection dilemma with only a handful of games left before the start of the tournament.

Former India pacer Ashish Nehra said that although Shami might not play in the T20 World Cup in Australia, the managers should "definitely" consider Shami for next year's ODI World Cup at home.

While the Indian cricket team will feel enthused about Dinesh Karthik's form since his international comeback in the ongoing T20 International series against South Africa, Rishabh Pant's form will be a matter of concern for them. India are playing the series against South Africa without some senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav are unavailable with injury. With those four players set to feature in India's playing XI when they go to Australia for the T20 World Cup in October-November, Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik also seem to have consolidated their positions in the team with their performances.

WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 3: Kemar Roach Puts West Indies On Verge Of Victory Against Battling Bangladesh

Veteran pacer Kemar Roach's enduring quality and consistency put the West Indies within 35 runs of victory over Bangladesh going into the fourth day of the first Test. His five for 53 from 24.5 overs in the Bangladesh second innings total of 245 looked, briefly, as if it would be overshadowed though by a stunning West Indies collapse in pursuit of a modest target of 84 as the hosts slipped to nine for three late on the third day Saturday.

India pacer Avesh Khan felt the pressure after going wicket-less in the first three games but said head coach Rahul Dravid's faith in him pushed him to come up with a match-winning performance in the fourth T20I.
