Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has advised that India should pick Mayank Yadav for the upcoming Australia tour if Mohammed Shami remains unavailable for selection till the BGT 2024/25. Mayank Yadav, who debuted for Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024 has impressed the Aussie bowler. Mayank made an impressive IPL debut for LSG in 2024, capturing the attention of both fans and cricket experts with his exceptional pace and remarkable precision in line and length. His talent earned him a spot in the national team, and during the recent T20I series at home against Bangladesh, he celebrated his international debut by bowling a maiden in his very first over.

This comes after Shami was sidelined for the New Zealand series due to injury. Brett Lee said: “The great thing is with me that I get to work on the IPL and see a lot of good young Indian cricketers. Mayank Yadav, to watch his first IPL game recently, to hit a 157 kmph first up in his first game. Unfortunately, his franchise probably brought him a little early and he did his side again.” Lee further added: “The great thing about India is that they are not worried about how much cricket someone has played or hasn’t played, if he is ready to go, get him in there. I actually love that theory. I can tell you that batters are okay when you bowl that 135-140 kmph speed, but when you bowl high 150s, I don’t care who it is, no one wants to face that. He looks like someone who is the complete package, if Mohammed Shami is not ready, at least get him in the squad. I think he would do pretty well on these Australian wickets.”
