NEW DELHI: With the T20 World Cup just five months away, the Indian team management and selectors are seeking clarity about Mohammed Shami's white-ball future. TOI understands the Indian cricket board (BCCI) is looking to have a discussion with the star pacer about his future plans.
The team picked for the T20I home series against Afghanistan doesn't have any of the three premier fast bowlers — Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami. While Bumrah and Siraj have been rested, Shami is still nursing an ankle injury. Shami is now over 33 years of age and needs to be handled carefully in this phase of his career.
