Plans gone a little awry: Aakash Chopra questions Umesh Yadav's selection in Australia series
India Today
India are set to play Australia in a 3-match series. The team had initially called up Mohammed Shami and later were forced to bring in Umesh Yadav.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has questioned India's selection calls for the series against Australia. Chopra has pointed out to the call-ups for Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav who have not been in the scheme of things for the Indian team for a while now. While Shami has not played a single T20I game this year, Umesh Yadav has not featured for the national side since 2019.
India were expected to try out as many players as they could in the lead-up to the World Cup but for the moment, they possibly would not be able to test out their back-up bowler, Shami.
"Since the last World Cup, India has played loads of T20i games but Md. Shami and Umesh Yadav didn’t feature in any one of themand with just four weeks to the World Cup, both have become a part of the plans. Plans gone a little awry?" questioned Aakash Chopra on Twitter.
