Mohammad Shami has been included in India’s 15-member squad for the T20I series against England, starting on January 22 in Kolkata.
India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against England, starting January 22 in Kolkata, has been announced by the BCCI Men’s Selection Committee on January 11, 2025.
The squad will be led by Suryakumar Yadav as captain, with Axar Patel serving as vice-captain. Sanju Samson will take up the wicketkeeper role, while Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Rinku Singh are key players in the batting department. Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, and Varun Chakaravarthy make up the bowling unit.
Notably, Shami returns to the Indian side after being sidelined for over a year due to an ankle injury. Despite a tough recovery journey, the pacer showcased his fitness through strong performances in domestic tournaments like the Ranji Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali, and Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was initially expected to join India’s tour to Australia, but a knee issue delayed his comeback.
