Rohit said in a pre-match press conference, ???Guys like Umesh, Shami, who have been bowling for a long time. They do not need to be playing a format to be considered.
???They have proven themselves as players in whichever format they have played. We understand the quality, it is the new guys on whom it will depend whether they have played this format or not. But guys like Umesh and Shami, if they are fit and fine, they will be called back???.
