India’s superstar batter Virat Kohli is badly out of form. Now the tourists have made a shock selection call ahead of their gold-plated Test series against Australia starting next month.
Australia’s hopes of regaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade have been given a major boost with India’s surprise decision to overlook veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami for the five-Test series beginning next month.
Fleming said he was surprised that Shami – one of only 11 Indians with 200 or more Test wickets – had been overlooked. While Shami does not have a ticket, Australian great Steve Waugh last month told Indian media Bumrah is good enough to lead his team to a series victory. While India have held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since 2014-15, Australia thumped India by 209 runs in the world Test championship final at the Oval last year, Shami taking four wickets for the match.
