Mohammad Shami has been kept on standby. The all-India Senior Selection Committee also picked squads for the upcoming series against Australia and South Africa at home. A lot of the team picked themselves but it is the selection of Arshdeep Singh that stands out as a significant vote of confidence for the youngster while Shami’s omission will be seen as a signal for the experienced fast bowler. The knee injury has kept Ravindra Jadeja out of the squad.
