On the question of Shami not getting a chance on England tour, Ajit Agarkar said, ‘He has had some trouble last week, some MRIs have to be done. He will not be able to play 5 Tests. I do not think their charge is as much as it should be. Medical people have said that they will be out. We hoped that he would play some role, but if he is not fit, we would choose fit and available players instead of waiting.
Shreyas Iyer, who performed brilliantly in domestic cricket, has not got a chance in the team. In the press conference about which Ajit Agarkar said, “Yes, Shreyas Iyer has done well in domestic cricket, but currently there is no place for him in the Test team.”
At the same time, Devdutt Padikkal, who was injured in the IPL, has not got a chance on this tour. Padikal had a chance to play on Australia tour. In such a situation, it was expected that he would get a chance, but his leaf was cut off from poor fitness.
