Although Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel were forced to withdraw from the event due to injuries, Mohammed Shami\u2019s exclusion from the squad was the biggest surprise. Notably, Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel\u2019s injuries have forced them to be ruled out of this tournament. Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Deepak Chahar will be travelling with the squad as the standby players.<\/p>\n
When talking about Shami\u2019s exclusion on Hotstar, Aakash Chopra claimed he couldn\u2019t understand the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy everybody has forgotten about Mohammed Shami is beyond me. He has performed well, his IPL numbers are great. I think if it was a race between Avesh Khan and Mohammed Shami, I will go with Mohammed Shami with my eyes closed. Nothing against Avesh, but I feel that Shami should have been given a chance with the new ball in the absence of a Jasprit Bumrah,\u201d said Aakash Chopra.<\/p>\n
BCCI has officially announced their squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022. Rohit Sharma will be leading the side without any doubt, and KL Rahul will be his deputy. Virat Kohli has been named back in the squad after a long time while Shreyas Iyer will be going as a standby player. Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant will be the middle-order choices while Suryakumar Yadav will assist the other 3 senior members \u2013 Rohit, Kohli, KL, in their top-order survival.<\/p>\n
The bowling department consists of Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, and young talent Arshdeep Singh.<\/p>\n
