Sourav Ganguly Predicts Mohammed Shami Quick Return, Hails Akash Deep as 'One to Watch'
Sourav Ganguly Predicts Mohammed Shami Quick Return: However, Ajit Agarkar who is chairman of selectors said that the right-arm seamer was expected to play in the first Test against Bangladesh.

Sourav Ganguly Predicts Mohammed Shami Quick Return: The India cricket team selectors have selected Yash Dayal and Akash Deep in the Indian team squad for the test series against Bangladesh instead of Mohammed Shami, suggesting giving him some more time to recover from his ankle surgery.
The Indian fast pacer Mohammed Shami planning to make his comeback is not in the Indian test team. However, Ajit Agarkar who is chairman of selectors said that the right-arm seamer was expected to play in the first Test against Bangladesh.
Ganguly said quoted by PTI, “I know Mohammed Shami is missing because of injury, but he will be back very soon since India is going to Australia. It’s still a very good attack.”
The left-arm fast bowler Yash Dayal from Uttar Pradesh was selected which will mark his first-ever test match for India. In an IPL match, Rinku Singh hit five sixes in a row at Yash Dayal's balls but Dayal has excellent redemption with his selection in the Indian team.
He also said that Bengal fast bowler Akash Deep, who was also in the Test team is a good player.

He added, “Akash Deep is an outstanding young fast bowler. He runs in, bowls quick, and will bowl for long periods. I’ve seen him play for Bengal, taking wickets. He will be as quick as Siraj and Shami, hitting high 140s. He is one to watch out for.”
Ganguly said that he believes that Spinner will have a huge impact on the game against Bangladesh.
He further added, “In India, you will see a lot more spin. In Chennai, you will see a lot more bounce. Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar, and Kuldeep are the four best spinners in the world at the moment — it won’t be easy. When you play in India, spinners have a lot more say in the game. But India are a very good team.”
“I am looking forward to their tour to Australia; that, for me, will be the real test for the squad. Then, when they tour England in July, these are the two most important tours, to be honest. I think the pace bowling department, with Bumrah and Siraj, and once Shami comes back, will be strong.”
