Hardie and Short seem like useless selections. May as well bring Tim David.

Lucky squads can be freely changed this month as Australia have 3 injured players in the squad (Cummins, Hazlewood and Inglis). They also have allrounder Hardie not yet fit to bowl

Is CUmmins injured? I thought he was only missing SL because his wife was due their baby? 😠

They said Cummins was carrying an ankle injury and was sent for scans last week. They don't have results yet but selectors said best to name him and drop him out if needed

Don't think Bumrah will make the final squad.

He isn't going to train/bowl at all in Jan. Then he is gonna have scans in the first week of Feb. Based on the results, they will work out his rehab. So I doubt he makes the final cut.

He’s in the squad. Unless you mean they’ll swap him out later.

I’m concerned about Shami as well. Why hasn’t he played any VH?

Thats the provisional squad. They can change the squad as much as they like until 11th of Feb. They will take a final call on Bumrah closer to the cutoff date. Harshit Rana is the reserve pacer and the one who will play against Eng in the ODIs, in place of Bumrah.

Shami did play VH. His team got knocked out before the final stages. I have my doubts about his fitness though. And is he still bowling 135+? I guess we will find out soon when he plays in the t20s.

Yeah basically they will swap in Harshit for Bumrah and Siraj for Shami if he is not fit.

But gotta say, just on face value, that is a bloody strong squad. Unfortunately so many of them are not in form. :(

Shami played in Hazare Trophy though. Scored a 44* of like 26 balls as well. He even played a few Ranji matches even before the 1st Australia Test.

Hardie is pretty useless as well tbf.
Hardie's selection is completely lost on me. Bro has a list A average of 19 with just one 50 in 29 matches and less than 1 wicket per game in this format & has looked ordinary at best in what I've seen of him in the BBL. What am I missing, and what video evidence is he holding?

He's basically a slightly better Stoinis and, uh, that's about it.

Cotton wool until June, tests. With Siraj out of form , India must have him for the 5 tests
