Lokesh Rahul has passed the fitness test. On that occasion, this right-handed opener was also selected as the captain of the tour of Zimbabwe.
Shikhar Dhawan was earlier announced as the leader for the three-match ODI series. On Rahul’s return, he was declared vice-captain. Meanwhile, the possibility of Mohammed Shami’s return to the Asia Cup team has suddenly arisen.
A few days ago, the national selectors called him and told him that he is no longer being considered for the T20 team. Similarly, Mohammad Shami did not get a place in the Asia Cup squad.
But the situation is changing due to injuries to Yashprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel. Additional pressure is on Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Because, Avesh Khan or Arshdeep Singh are still inexperienced.
So there is a thought of including a senior pacer like Shami in the team has started. It is heard that coach Rahul Dravid has made such a proposal to the national selectors.
