During the Follow the Blues program on Star Sports, Sanjay Bangar was asked to choose his predicted playing 11 for the first match against Bangladesh. After this, he made a surprising move and removed Mohammed Shami. While selecting his team, he said, “You remove one of the fast bowlers.

He said about this, “Then one of Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel and a reserve wicketkeeper. So in this case, Rishabh Pant can be on the bench.”
