Why Mohammed Shami left out? Selectors have picked 4 member PACE-ATTACK. Jasprit Bumrah & Harshal Patel as reported are back. Bhuvneshwar Kumar as expected is in team. Arshdeep Singh has been rewarded for his performances in the Powerplay and death overs.
Hardik Pandya will support the four-man pace battery.
It is learnt that both captain & coach were of the view – that in the Australian summer pitches will aid SPIN and the team needs to add variety in the attack.
According to the sources, in selection meeting it was a TOSS up between Shami & Ashwin. As both Dravid & Rohit were in favor of Ashwin, selectors bowed down to their demand. Besides adding variety, Ashwin was preferred for his experience of bowling on pitches Down Under.
The team management was of the view, that few sides are loaded with lefthanders. They felt more than Shami’s pace, Ashwin would be useful in curtailing their big-hitting ways.
Shami meanwhile has been picked for Australia and South Africa T20 Series.
