The duo, along with Ravi Bishnoi and Deepak Chahar , was named a “standby player” for the T20 World Championship.

Batter Iyer played his T20I of 46 and at his rate of 136.65 strikes he scored 1029 runs. A veteran pacemaker, Shammi played 17 of his T20Is and took 18 wickets. Both players are stars of the Indian Premier League.
