Mohammed Shami had right heel issues in the 2023 ODI World Cup. After the tournament, he underwent surgery and took a year-long break to recover. He missed major events such as the home Test series against England, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, IPL, and the T20 World Cup. Shami has now fully recovered.
"You eliminate one of the fast bowlers. If Arshdeep and Bumrah are both available, then you can afford to leave out somebody like a Shami. So for me, Shami is not a starter," Bangar said.

The former India all-rounder said that either Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel might not make it into the final XI. Bangar emphasized that Rishabh Pant could find himself on the bench for India's Champions Trophy 2025 opener.
"My XI would be Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh," he said.
