Shami? He hasnt played anything. Didnt play a single game even warmup in Aus. Why are they rushing him, just dont get. It is not like he is Malinga. He is as mediocre as others in T20s. 

Shami has played just 4 T20Is and done decently. Can't really judge from such a small sample size.

In overall T20s  he has 52 wickets from 42 matches with an average of 20.25  and ER of 7.3.......  Quite good. 

His ability to bowl yorkers better than other established bowlers must have tipped the scale for him.

I am worried that he is being rushed back and may get injured again.

Also. we don't know what his current form is.

In absence of T20Is, i will go by IPL stats and not domestic T20s stats. He has been pretty poor in IPL. 13 wickets in 23 games at about 9 rpo, average 46.

Aaron has far better stats in IPL in every aspect despite playing a lot at Chinnaswami feather bed.

Even Umesh is tad better.

I dont know why Shami is such a certainty despite not playing anything in 9 months. He is a good bowler but at least let him prove his fitness, his form, but you cannot rush a bowler like that. He is going to take at least 4-6 months even to come back to the level he had left the team.

Dhoni has said that he is looking for pacers who can bowl yorkers and he is one of the better ones in India.

But, he should not be rushed back, lest he further aggravates his injury.

I dont think he bowls any better yorkers than Aaron and Yadav. All 3 are at the same level when it comes to yorkers. None of them is as good as Bumrah but I believe Aaron is better than the two. I remember, watched that game live on NZ tour when he was bowling yorkers too James Neesham while Shami was thrashed by same Neesham.

Aaron is not in the picture in LOIs as long as Dhoni is the captain.
