Will Shami get a chance ahead of Bhuvi when Bumrah returns back to the side?

[vvvslaxman]

Don't want a separate thread. So using a similar one.  Purely from a bowling perspective Shami is still our best bet. Out and Out strike bowler if you look at his whole career. Bhuvi for the large part was more a restrictive bowler than a wicket taking bowler. Shami out of the blue can fire a peach and get rid of  gun players of the opposition. Bit like how Hasan Ali did well in CT 2017, he can bowl that induckers that can rattle many players.

 

Let us assume we have overcast conditions and ball is swinging. Is there a case for including Bhuvi? Bhuvi infact is a slight better bowler with new ball both Bhumrah and Shami. Should we sacrifice a spinner? (which i don't want at all. They are our main weapons in the middle overs)

Tail is a long one in this combo. Kuldeep has decent technique as a batsman and has played some decent innings

in FC but has not done anything in the intl cricket with the bat. In England matches will be highscoring and depth in

the batting is important. So Bhuvi will play at no. 8. Bhuvi, Kuldeep, Chahal, Bumrah and Hardik are the 5 bowlers with

Shankar and Kedar are the 6th bowling option finishing a quota of 10 overs.

This team will start rom the selected 15:

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Shankar (Selectors' 3D choice)

Dhoni

Kedar

Hardik

BK

Kuldeep

Bumrah

Chahal

Reserves: Rahul, DK, Jadeja, Shami.

Shami can come in place of Chahal where 3 seamers are required based on condition or the opponent.
