It may seem unfathomable, but<strong> Mohammed Shami</strong>, a really experienced bowler, didn't get picked to play even though everybody was very happy to see him come back after being out for a while because of a heel operation.</p><p>Shami hadn't played since the<strong> ICC ODI World Cup final</strong> in November 2023, but he was getting ready to make a comeback, playing in some <strong>domestic games </strong>to find his skill again. However, Suryakumar said during the toss that they wanted to play to their strengths. Through this piece, it's key to understand why Shami, with all his experience, wasn't in the game.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-varun-chakravarthy-s-double-put-india-in-strong-position/">Watch: Varun Chakravarthy's double put India in strong position</a></strong></p><p>The team management felt pretty solid about their bowling lineup and how it suited the conditions in Kolkata, so they <strong>left Shami out.</strong> By all means, this decision confused a lot of people because Shami's skills in T20 cricket are well known. Despite that, Suryakumar was hopeful about the series, saying the pitch at the stadium was somewhat sticky and they were expecting dew to make things fraught later on.</p><p>Mister Yadav praised his team's preparations and was excited about facing England. <strong>Shami's potential </strong>return to international cricket was an important issue, especially after he missed the test series in Australia in December 2023, where India didn't do too well. Now, with the T20I series going on, whether Shami will play in future games makes everyone unsure. Meanwhile, even with a group that does not agree on the best strategy, India's bowling team is ready to take on England taking&nbsp; on the conditions and their recent good form to see them through.</p>]]></content:encoded>
