Shami surprisingly left out from the squad
India recalled both Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar despite the selectors, earlier, claiming that they have been handed a rest keeping the Australia series in mind. Shami, who picked three wickets in two games, was left out in a rather strange fashion. They have retained Umesh Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed. The two are expected to now warm the bench after Bhuvi and Bumrah's arrival.
