While the seam bowling department of India has been bolstered by the return back of an apparent fit looking Mohammed Shami, one of Harshal Patel or Arshdeep Singh will have to make way for him if at all the management wish to play the former from the first match itself.

As for Pakistan, with the opening pair of Babar and Rizwan certain to be affixed at the top, it will be interesting to see if they do persist with Shan Masood next in the batting order, after coming up with average returns since his debut in the format.
