Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami has not been selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia due to injury. After this he was selected in the Bengal team for Ranji Trophy and he also performed well. In such a situation, many media reports started speculating about Shami going on Australia tour. He has been away from international cricket since the ODI World Cup 2023 and has not played a single match for Team India. Now big news has come out in PTI report on his return.
Can play one to two matches in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
According to PTI report, Mohammed Shami may return for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the second half. People in the know said that the medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the national selectors want Shami to play some more competitive matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to see whether his body is fine even after so many matches. No, even if it is a white ball tournament. Head coach Lakshmi Ratan Shukla said that the Bengal team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy will be selected tomorrow. If Shami does not go for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy then I believe he should be available for Bengal.
Shami took 7 wickets in the match
It is understood that the selection committee does not want to take any risks by rushing Mohammed Shami into the squad after just one Ranji Trophy match after completing an extensive rehabilitation programme. However, Shami, who appeared in a competitive match after a year, performed impressively for Bengal against Madhya Pradesh in Indore and took seven wickets to give his team its first win of the season.
Took 24 wickets in ODI World Cup 2023
Mohammed Shami has been performing well for Team India for a long time and has won many matches for the team on his own. So far, he has taken 229 wickets in 64 Test matches, 195 wickets in 101 Test matches and 24 wickets in 23 T20 International matches for Team India. He proved to be the biggest hero for the team in the ODI World Cup 2023 held last year. Then he had taken a total of 24 wickets.
