Amid Shami's continued absence, Bhuvneshwar has shared his views on how players can make a strong comeback to the national team in the video shared by the BCCI on its official website ahead of the second T20I against New Zealand on Saturday, October 24, in Christchurch.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar said in the BCCI video, "If you see, there are three formats: T20s, One Day, and Five Days. And if you include the IPL in that, I think there's enough cricket to be in touch and to make a comeback. I believe there are many players who want to make a comeback. I think it's this ample opportunity to do well and come back.”
