Had I been the chairman of the selection committee, I think Shami would have been there and maybe, I wouldn’t have gone along. Ravi Bishnoi, but i still believe that Akshar Patel There was a serious contender in my team. It would have been a big toss between Axar Patel and Ashwin,” Srikkanth said during the ‘Follow the Blues’ show on Star Sports.

“I am very happy Deepak Hooda – He can bowl a bit, he is a good hitter and he is a good striker of the ball. What I like about Deepak Hooda is that he is a good striker of the ball, he is a flirter. Otherwise, this team is a fantastic team, only to feel bad for Axar Patel. I still believe he is a good bowling all-rounder, could be in Australian conditions. I am not just going for the Asia Cup, but yes, it should be the blueprint for the ICC T20 World Cup as well.”

The other batsmen are also doing really well. Overall, the team looks good and well balanced. There are good all-rounders too – R Ashwin is batting well. Definitely, Axar Patel has been doing well throughout the year as well.
I love the team combination and I was really happy with Ravi Bishnoi’s selection. This brought a change in the team. This is a good team in my opinion. I am also happy for Arshdeep Singh. He has been doing well in the IPL against West Indies, where he was the player of the series and bowled well. We were looking for a left-arm bowler, which we found in Arshdeep Singh.”
