    "editor1": "<p><strong>July 9 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> The Indian team management was on Tuesday criticised on social media after they did not include right-arm pacer Mohammed Shami in the playing XI for the World Cup semi-final clash against New Zealand at the Old Trafford in Manchester.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shami, who has picked up 14 wickets in the four matches that he has played so far, was not included in the playing XI. Instead, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was included in the side in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Shami also did not play in India&#39;s last league game against Sri Lanka on July 6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Okay with Chahal over Kuldeep. Not so much for Shami&#39;s exclusion. Only five bowlers is a possible concern but from that perspective, bowling first isn&#39;t that bad a thing. India bats deep with this combination,&quot; said cricketer-turned-commentator Akash Chopra after former India skipper Sourav Ganguly questioned Kohli&#39;s move.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Like Sourav Ganguly, I admit I am surprised by the dropping of Shami. He takes wickets upfront and if you do, the death overs aren&#39;t as critical. India batting very deep with Jadeja at 8 but it is a big call to leave out Kuldeep against a team he has done well,&quot; tweeted celebrated commentator Harsha Bhogle.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;India&#39;s XI is slightly conservative. Picking Bhuvi &amp; Jadeja ahead of Kuldeep &amp; Shami they&#39;ve arguably picked the better all-round players at the expense of the better bowlers, but on a fresh pitch which has been high-scoring in this comp that batting depth could be precious,&quot; wrote one of the Twitter users.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There are about 20 people sitting around me right now, nobody has a clue why Bhuvi is playing ahead of Shami. And they all know the game,&quot; tweeted another user.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Really surprised that Shami isn&#39;t in the squad for this crucial game,&quot; said another user on the microblogging website.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Is Shami injured or have we wilfully not picked the guy with 14 wickets in 4 games &amp; the best strike rate in the entire tournament?&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
