(P.C.:Getty) Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra believes Team India made the right decision by naming Mohammed Shami as the replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah for the T20 World Cup 2022. While some eyebrows have been raised on Shami's selection as he hasn't played a single T20I since last year's T20 World Cup, Aakash Chopra said on social media that it made "perfect sense." He opined that the decision to select Shami wasn't baffling, but to not give him even a single game in this format over the past 12 months, even when he was fit, is something that can be debated. Chopra tweeted: "Shami to replace Bumrah. Makes perfect sense. What doesn’t make sense is the fact that he hasn’t played a single T20i since the last World Cup. And that’s got nothing to do with his fitness. He was always available…" Aakash Chopra@cricketaakashShami to replace Bumrah. Makes perfect sense.
